    After a recent update of firefox i got some message saying UPEK had to do some reconfigumobulation in order to adapt to this update so I said OK. Well you see I use the login to type some of my passwords and logins which are quite long. However after logging in once the UPEK wont do it again. However if i go to settings>user settings then disable firefox support then exit then reenter and enable it, then it works again... once.

    Whats up? Anyone know how i can maybe get firefox and/or UPEK to sort out their differences? Perhaps wipe clean their reconfigulogimolation?

    close firefox. go into the UPEK control panel, under settings, user settings, swipe finger, go to password bank. uncheck firefox. click okay to apply the settings. reopen the user settings, then password bank, check firefox again. close the window to reinstall it to firefox. then when you open firefox again it will work... most likely. has always worked for me at least. :)

    maybe someone else has an idea about something else...

    So many people encourage removing UPEK. I think the best solution is removing Foxfire. I'm really tired of this problem.

    You would be correct in saying you're 'tired' of the problem if you had used the program long enough to spell its name right :)
