Upgraded to FF 60 earlier this week, .. and was forced to start using
LastPass 4. Unfortunately, this is a HUGE step backwards in
functionality, and it appears that the LP crew is officially
abandoning Firefox and platforms other than Apple, and, in general, any
LP usage for sites other than mass market (e.g. abandoning of BasicAuth
fillins):

So, ..

 * LP has abandoned FF entirely - functionality is just not there, sort of
like stumbling in the dark waiting to stub your toe on a feature no
longer viable;

 * LP 4 refuses to cache the login email;

 * LP 4 is a total abortion WRT efficiency! The UI is forced to endure
favicons for EVERY site, and even falling back to LP 3 compatibilty is not
a permane setting.

 * Worse yet, the UI has reverted to opening a ***TAB*** for what used to
be a ***POPU***!!!

Has anyone found a usable vault that works with FF basic auth (at the very
least)?

	TIA!
