You can easily update LastPass in Firefox to ensure security of a series of passwords and smooth operations of the program.
The LastPass service can be used in Firefox as one of the many Add-ons and save you the trouble of memorizing dozens of randomized sequences for different accounts.
LastPass can provide an invaluable service for Firefox users: password security, without having to memorize dozens of randomized sequences.
The service, which runs smoothly in the background as a Firefox add-on, stores and encrypts passwords for free. All that's required of you is to create an account with a master password.
Users of the LastPass Add-on for Firefox should be mindful to keep the program in tip top shape — that means using the newest version, which are often released to address security exploits that have come up.

How to download LastPass in Firefox
1. Navigate in Firefox to the LastPass downloads page. You can also type out a shortened version of the hyperlink: lastpass.com/download.
2. Because LastPass will detect that you're using Firefox, you'll automatically see a Firefox "Quick Install" at the top of the page. Do not use this link. Instead look beneath the "More ways to get LastPass" header to find the "LastPass for Firefox" link.
3. Click "Download" and "Continue to Installation" if prompted by Firefox.
