What is Firefox's Lockbox browser?

So the Mozilla Foundation released a new extension, initially for employees. From today it is also available for users who can install it from the following links:

Here and here

The project called Lockbox renews the old Firefox password management utility with a new user interface (UI).

It also has a new one στο UI του Firefox, σε περίπτωση που οι χρήστες επιθυμούν να προσθέσουν κάποια in their browser's main menu to open Lockbox without looking for it in their browser options.

Lockbox also supports locking the app with a master password, helping users to keep them keep them safe from unauthorized access by colleagues, family members or others.

Although Lockbox is at a very early stage of development at the moment, the Mozilla Foundation will probably transfer it to Test Pilot for more user testing before deciding whether to move it to the fixed channel for further development.

The Firefox Test Pilot is an add-on for Firefox that allows users to install, test and support experimental capabilities that can be added to Firefox at some point in the future.

Currently, Mozilla developers report that Lockbox has only been tested in Firefox 57 (and above) and that installing it in Firefox 56 or earlier it may not work at all.

Also, there is currently no way to reset the Lockbox master password, so be careful about the daring people who are thinking about trying the new project.
