![]() It is no secret that having a no master password setup leaves it wide open… this is not something that Mozilla can change, other than forcing people to use a master password (and thankfully they do not do that). Without a master password, the passwords are easily readable by any process on the same user account. When a master password is used, the password store on the disk is encrypted using a salted, hashed version of the master password. Imo, this is one example where Mozilla is talking the talk, but not doing the walk.įirefox has a master password option, and with that set, it would not be possible to have the passwords imported automatically. I suppose the subsequent question is, what else had been / is being ascertained by other methodologies while using FireFox? I would bet there is a lot more than what we think. But are we not led to believe that the sole purpose of FireFox’s existence is to protect our privacy? If its not, then why not use the other browsers? Based on a number of posts by unhappy FireFox consumers that have experienced the new versions of FireFox as proverbial train-wrecks and demand to rollback to a functional version of FireFox or they will switch browsers they are told in so-many words “You can take it or leave it for the other browsers” ![]() In this case cited by this article, our logins and passwords were covertly aggregated from FireFox. The issue at hand is FireFox for having allowed the door to be opened to begin with and this permitted other browsers to violate our privacy. ![]() ![]() So accusing Edge of this and that, per se, when it comes to aggregating information from FireFox is not the issue. We cannot always blame opportunists for stealing cars when the driver leaves the car running and doors unlocked while getting coffee at the local quickee mart. Nor what will happen if you try to install and run Windows 11 on hardware not officially supported, but with hacks which are coming out every week. Until the official Windows 11 RTM version comes out, I don’t think anyone will know for sure what the final Windows 11 hardware requirements will be. Suffice it to say these requirements are a moving target. Microsoft has removed its own Windows 11 PC Health Check utility. Without full specs of what’s installed on your Motherboard, we cannot advise on how to achieve (probable) Windows 11 compatibility on your hardware platform.Įnabling TPM 2.0 (if it exists) on your Motherboard is only one of eleven or more requirements for Windows 11.Ī recent article (paid version of AskWoody Plus Newsletter) suggests checking using a detailed third party Windows 11 readiness assessment tool like these: There are in total 11 requirements at this time for Windows 11 compatibility. Windows 11 requires as of this posting, at least an 8th Gen Intel chip, or an AMD chip from Microsoft’s announced list of compatible AMD processors: We would also need to know which processor you have installed. Your motherboard and its support or lack thereof for TPM 2.0 is only one factor (OK, maybe several of the 11 readiness points) in determining hardware readiness for Windows 11. This sub-thread seems a bit off-topic for this article, but here’s my advice:
