Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser and the third most popular desktop browser in 2020, after Chrome and Safari. Firefox is often used by privacy-conscious web users because it automatically blocks most tracking cookies and other cookies that aren’t critical to the function of the web page.
In 2014, Mozilla introduced Firefox Accounts as a way to sign into websites and sync your browsing data, including bookmarks, history, open tabs, and passwords, across devices. Therefore, it’s important to keep the password to your Firefox account safe and change it occasionally. Remember to use a strong, unique password that’s impossible for anyone to guess.
Below, we’ve outlined the steps that you need to take to change your Mozilla Firefox password. We also let you know how to reset your Firefox account if you’ve forgotten your password.
