For most users, Firefox will do this for you automatically. Both the Firefox addon and KeePass plugin will need to be updated. The button on the KeeFox setup page should update the KeePass plugin for you if you're on Windows but otherwise just manually copy the KeePassRPC.plgx file to the KeePass plugins folder as with most KeeFox updates. https://www.kee.pm/2016/03/02/keefox-1.6/ Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2016/03/02/keefox-1.6/ In about a month we'll ask Mozilla to publish KeeFox 1.6 to all users. It's a small release compared to KeeFox 1.5 but it will contain a few improvements and new options that some users will find very useful. It will also be a release which breaks compatibility with some very old and insecure technologies so that we can continue to support new technologies and reduce the risk of KeeFox bugs. https://www.kee.pm/2015/08/24/keefox-1.5/ Mon, 24 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2015/08/24/keefox-1.5/ KeeFox 1.5 is undergoing final testing and will be released soon. There are dozens of new and improved features and hundreds of smaller improvements and bug fixes. You might need to re-save some of your existing logins to take advantage of all of the improvements and ensure the login behaves as expected. Thankfully the new "update existing password" feature should make this a painless process. The rest of this post will highlight the main improvements you'll see when you upgrade. https://www.kee.pm/2015/01/09/keefox-version-security-warning/ Fri, 09 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2015/01/09/keefox-version-security-warning/ All KeeFox users have just received a notification that their version of KeeFox is very old and requires upgrading. There are no known security faults with previous versions but as I'm sure you can understand, the reason this version warning exists is to remind you that running old unsupported versions does carry an inherently higher risk than staying up to date with the latest version. The latest version of KeeFox as of 9th January 2015 at 10:00 GMT was 1. https://www.kee.pm/2013/08/18/upcoming-releases/ Sun, 18 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2013/08/18/upcoming-releases/ KeeFox 1.2.5b1 released Version 1.2.5 is nearly ready to be released so beta testers will soon be upgraded to this new version with a few small but important bug fixes: A fix for Thunderbird 25A couple of bug fixes that caused some passwords to not save to KeePassDanish, French, Korean, Portuguese and Russian languages created / updated (some not complete yet)Fix for intermittent failed KeePass shutdown on Mono (Mac/Linux)Some other small changesBig changes in KeeFox 1. https://www.kee.pm/2012/11/29/error-console-can-temporarily-display-passwords/ Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2012/11/29/error-console-can-temporarily-display-passwords/ I’ve just been made aware of a potential privacy concern which has been fixed in the latest version of KeeFox. Until you receive the updated version, please note that some of your passwords may be temporarily displayed in a console that is used for debugging. This “error console” is usually hidden from view and its contents are not retained but in certain circumstances this could be a problem so I’ve tried to fix it as quickly as possible. https://www.kee.pm/2012/10/09/keefox-1.1.2-released/ Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2012/10/09/keefox-1.1.2-released/ The recently released KeeFox 1.1.2 contains dozens of new and improved features and a few important bug fixes, the highlights are below. Multiple database support. Seamlessly work with more than one KeePass database thanks to these improvements: Logins from all open (unlocked) databases are matched (and automatically filled / submitted depending on your configuration)Logins from all open databases are listed on the Logins toolbar buttonA new login can be saved into any open databaseChanging databases from within KeeFox is now reliable and predictable Improved form matching accuracy: when KeeFox knows how many form fields to expect for an entry it will now use that information to help select the correct form on a pageInstant edit feature added: Review and edit every entry that KeeFox saves (disabled by default). https://www.kee.pm/2012/05/02/keefox-1.0/ Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2012/05/02/keefox-1.0/ Version 1.0 of KeeFox has been released! KeeFox adds free, secure and easy to use password management features to Firefox which save you time and keep your private data safe and under your control. KeeFox connects Firefox to KeePass Password Safe, the most popular open source (and free) password manager. Four years, thousands of beta testers and seven international translations later I am delighted to say that KeeFox can be considered a stable add-on that is suitable for everyone to use. https://www.kee.pm/2012/03/15/keefox-0.9.5-and-linuxmac-support/ Thu, 15 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2012/03/15/keefox-0.9.5-and-linuxmac-support/ Version 0.9.5 has just been submitted to Mozilla for review so will hopefully be winging its way to you through the usual update channel within a week. Changes this time: HTTP Auth login boxes now correctly state when no matching passwords were found New domain matching rules prevent IP addresses from matching incorrectly Improvements to message/tip display (easier to prevent the same message appearing again once you’ve seen it) Miscellaneous changes to meet recent Firefox add-on best practice guidelines Dutch translation added Also note that (thanks to krbvroc1) you can now run KeeFox on Linux and Mac systems but we’ve not had enough beta testing feedback to enable support outside of the development channel. https://www.kee.pm/2012/02/04/keefox-0.9.4-released/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2012/02/04/keefox-0.9.4-released/ Version 0.9.4 has been added to the Mozilla add-ons site so you should receive an automatic update in due course. This version works with KeePass 2.18. It also adds a new message display service aimed primarily at new users (but which I hope to extend to delivery of important security notifications in the future).  There are a number of other changes too: fixing some bugs, improving the translations for some languages and making some fairly invisible improvements. https://www.kee.pm/2011/10/25/keefox-0.9.3-released/ Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/10/25/keefox-0.9.3-released/ A new version of KeeFox has just been approved on the official Firefox add-ons site. This version supports KeePass 2.17 (and earlier). There are a few other improvements too - full details are in the release notes for version 0.9.3a on this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/versions/ I recommend installing the updated version of KeeFox while still running version 2.16 (or earlier) of KeePass. If you have already upgraded to KeePass 2.17 you will need to “paste and go” this URL in your location bar and click “Upgrade KeeFox”: https://www.kee.pm/2011/08/02/keefox-0.9-release-candidate-available/ Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/08/02/keefox-0.9-release-candidate-available/ You can now download version 0.9b from the development channel at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/ Users already subscribed to the development channel (i.e. running 0.8.22b at the moment) will be upgraded automatically. You can easily swap back to 0.8.21 if you find a problem with 0.9 so please try it out and post in the forum if you do find any new issues. Assuming a successful beta testing period, this version will be rolled out to all 0. https://www.kee.pm/2011/06/14/keefox-0.8.21-released/ Tue, 14 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/06/14/keefox-0.8.21-released/ You can now download version 0.8.21 from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/ This is a required upgrade for all users. You must upgrade before the end of June 2011 or KeeFox will stop working. Firefox should automatically prompt you to install a new version soon and future versions of KeeFox will keep up to date automatically through the official Firefox add-ons site. Apart from the switch to an automatic update system, there are a few other minor improvements too. https://www.kee.pm/2011/05/21/keefox-0.8.20-released/ Sat, 21 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/05/21/keefox-0.8.20-released/ Version 0.8.20 has just been released - download it now. There may still be a few bugs here and there but I think the long list of improvements since version 0.8.10 warrants a release now. There have been over 15 bug fixes along with some new features, the most notable being: Several username/password field matching improvements HTTP Auth dialogs now prompt to save password All feedback is welcome, as always. Please submit support or bug requests to the forum: http://keefox. https://www.kee.pm/2011/05/16/keefox-0.8.17-experimental-version-released/ Mon, 16 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/05/16/keefox-0.8.17-experimental-version-released/ Another release candidate candidate is available for download. This version now works with websites that have HTML5 form elements, has more accurate HTTP Auth dialog entry matching, handles protected password fields correctly and works with password database paths that contain Unicode characters. Please could all experimental version users upgrade to this version because: 1) You might not know if your form filling accuracy is affected by some of the bugs fixed in 0. https://www.kee.pm/2011/04/13/keefox-0.8.15-experimental-version-released/ Wed, 13 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/04/13/keefox-0.8.15-experimental-version-released/ A new experimental version is available at http://keefox.org/download/experimental-version. There are a couple of important bug fixes including one where some other parts of Firefox stopped working when KeeFox was installed so I recommend all users of 0.8.12-14 should upgrade. Users of 0.8.10 should not be affected by this bug. The other improvements since 0.8.12 are: Improved password field matching HTTP Auth dialogs now respect global and site-specific “offer to save passwords” settings https://www.kee.pm/2011/04/05/keefox-0.8.12-experimental-version-released/ Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/04/05/keefox-0.8.12-experimental-version-released/ This new version is a release candidate candidate. Please help to test it so that I do not have to say that too many times! KeeFox is now “feature complete” as far as version 1.0 is concerned - there are still many features I want to add later in the year but for the next few months I will be concentrating on fixing bugs and ensuring that the documentation and help resources are up to scratch before the release of version 1. https://www.kee.pm/2011/03/22/keefox-0.8.10-released/ Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/03/22/keefox-0.8.10-released/ A new KeeFox version 0.8.10 is now available on the main download page. This is still beta quality but I think it’s close to a release candidate so please speak up if you find any problems. Top 10 highlights since 0.8.4 include: Support for Firefox 4 New “KeeFox” tab in the KeePass “edit group” and “edit entry” dialogs, giving easy access to features such as: Multiple matching URLs Custom form field editing Auto-fill and auto-submit override options Entries can now be edited from the right-click / context menu on the matched login menu / button The KeeFox options panel has been re-written to include options that were previously hidden and clarify the purpose of some options You can now choose to save entries straight into a sub-group or “Never for this site” Improved detection of the “best” entry to use and the “best” form to put the entry into “monitor[ing] each web page for new forms” no longer causes a “flashing” effect on the toolbar A new “location manager” and an ability to set different home groups for different locations via the “edit group” KeePass feature HTTP Auth improvements (now uses the “realm” to improve auto-fill/submit accuracy and adds a tooltip showing the entry title) You decide! https://www.kee.pm/2011/03/11/keefox-0.8.8-take-2/ Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/03/11/keefox-0.8.8-take-2/ Version 0.8.8 is now re-released on the experimental download page. It requires and includes KeePassRPC version 0.8.9 so hopefully a standard upgrade through Firefox will do the trick but if you do have problems, please delete the KeePassRPC plugin from the KeePass plugins folder. There also may be an issue with the release candidate of Firefox 4 which means that you should wait until Firefox has started before opening KeePass to trigger the start of the upgrade procedure - I’ll investigate that more in a few days and release a fixed version if necessary. https://www.kee.pm/2011/03/10/keefox-0.8.8-experimental-version-released/ Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/03/10/keefox-0.8.8-experimental-version-released/ Here’s another experimental version for your enjoyment. This one has several new features and some important bug fixes and improvements to existing features. Please upgrade if you’re running an experimental version at the moment; I hope to release this as a final beta version before Firefox 4 is officially released (a couple of weeks?) so all feedback can help me judge whether that is a good idea or not! Highlights of this release are: Fixed: Auto-submit on HTTP Auth dialogs no longer closes the parent window (often closing Firefox as a result) Fixed: “monitor[ing] each web page for new forms” no longer causes a “flashing” effect on the toolbar Changing options no longer requires a restart of Firefox KeePass entry dialog editor KeeFox tab is now split into three sub-tabs to make it less cramped Improvements to the handling of locations: a new location manager and the ability to set different home groups for different locations via the “edit group” KeePass feature Improved detection of the “best” password when multiple entries exist for the same domain More complete list of matched logins on pages with matches in more than one frame Improvements to the installer including: no longer overwriting KeePass with the bundled version when manually setting the KeePass location HTTP Auth improvements (now uses the “realm” to improve auto-fill/submit accuracy and adds a tooltip showing the entry title) https://www.kee.pm/2011/02/27/keefox-0.8.7-experimental-version-released/ Sun, 27 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2011/02/27/keefox-0.8.7-experimental-version-released/ A new experimental version, 0.8.7, has just been uploaded tohttp://keefox.org/download/experimental-version This version adds several new features, fixes a few bugs and improves support for Firefox 4. Highlights include: The options panel has been re-written to include options that were previously hidden and clarify the purpose of some options. Note that some options will not change until Firefox has been restarted! You can now choose to save entries straight into a sub-group You can now choose to save entries ‘Never for this site’ Filling or submitting by clicking on a matched login will now find the “best” form rather than just the first it finds with a password field Known issues Some options are not changed until Firefox is restarted. https://www.kee.pm/2010/12/17/keefox-0.8.5-experimental-version-released/ Fri, 17 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2010/12/17/keefox-0.8.5-experimental-version-released/ The latest experimental build is now available from the experimental download page. As usual, this has been only briefly tested so expect the occasional bug. This time around there are quite a few new features including the following highlights. The “edit entry” and “edit group” dialogs in KeePass now have a new “KeeFox” tab which allows point and click control of many advanced features and options that were previously only available through manual configuration of “advanced strings”. https://www.kee.pm/2010/10/16/keefox-0.8.4-beta-released/ Sat, 16 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2010/10/16/keefox-0.8.4-beta-released/ This version includes several new features but the main benefit is a stability improvement - some users have reported that earlier versions of KeeFox can cause to Firefox to crash so after identifying a likely fix for the issue I wanted to push this new beta onto the main download page, despite there being a few rough edges. I think it works well enough to be a worthwhile upgrade until I have more time to work on features like Firefox 4 support. https://www.kee.pm/2010/07/31/keefox-0.8.1-released/ Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2010/07/31/keefox-0.8.1-released/ Hot on the heels of version 0.8, I’m pleased to say I found a quick fix for the problems causing Firefox to fail to shutdown under certain circumstances and have released version 0.8.1 straight to the main download page so please upgrade to the version now available on http://keefox.org/download There is a remaining issue related to this same underlying problem but I don’t anticipate it causing anyone a significant problem in practice. https://www.kee.pm/2010/07/30/keefox-0.8-beta-released/ Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.kee.pm/2010/07/30/keefox-0.8-beta-released/ KeeFox 0.8 has been released! Edit: 0.8.1 has been released with just one small bug fix. The download page now contains 0.8.1. Main changes since 0.7 Extra security layers Password generation from within Firefox A “getting started” tutorial (needs special entries in your password database) Lots of options to fine tune KeeFox behaviour with specific entries (albeit mostly through “advanced” strings rather than a pretty user interface, which will hopefully be coming in an experimental version soon after 0.
