Ive had to switch from FF to Chrome as one app went belly up on FF. Then another. One app (Citrix based) and one web apps, just an in network URL . My issue is that I imported the bookmarks, set up the tabs for my apps, PW weren't able to be imported so done them, logged in, chose the save option. Today I startup, some work, some want a login and PW, some that use the same login but use the PW from the other same login, frustrating as.

I WFH, use Citrix.

I had one where I went to the PW Manager, removed one UN/PW setting and now it wont ask me again, so I can re save. (Admittedly it was in the never ask but but I removed it from Password Manager.)

Can I blow it all away and start over?

Ask them to give you a laptop and utilize desktop via proxy vpn.

Honestly, I avoided citrix like the plague. Alternatively, looking Jess on teams and tell him citrix sucks ;)

I use, design and implement Citrix solutions. More often than not I'm accessing the clients environment through Citrix and have zero issues.

Out of interest what does your local browser have to do with Citrix? It's just displaying a Citrix Gateway/StoreFront page and launching apps/desktops with the Workspace app, or are you using HTML5 receiver?

You should be able to import saved passwords from one to another?

I use Citrix for my day-to-day job.

Default browser is Firefox - I'm not switching from that. I know Storefront doesn't work well with Firefox.

My standard way of doing it is to launch Edge to the Storefront page - login and that's all I need Edge for. Works well, means I don't need to switch to Edge / Chrome either.

For your Passwords issue though - do yourself a favor and switch to a proper password manager like Lastpass (this is free). It is fully cross-platform, doesn't matter what browser you're using etc.

Citrix is a good product, but I've seen some downright awful half thought out implementations of it.

Yup, and the solution OP is on has quite a few quirks to it... Citrix itself can be pretty impressive or downright a pain in the rear depending on what solution is deployed

Cheers for the detail, I'll try that. Red button stood down :-)

To be fair, Citrix works well for me, I mentioned it to give a correct view of my setup.
