Metamask recommends that you log out of your wallet when your not using it which is good advice as you don't want to tell everyone how much you have. However, it virtually impossible to log back into your account with a simple cut and paste of your 12 secret words and passwords. Let me explain...
First you copy your 12 secret words to paste into the box. However, as soon as you click anywhere else to paste your password, the metamask window disappears. When you open it again, it's asking for the 12 secret words again. So, your only option is to paste in either the secret words or your password, not both. One of them has to be done manually to keep the window open. Another frustration I had was when I recovered my wallet after it logs me out is after I had pasted in my 12 words, it asks me to create a new password. Now this is supposed to be a strong, secure password and I like to use at least 12 digits. So I create a new password but as I type it in, all I am seeing is the common security dots so I can't see what I'm typing. This means I can't type it twice like it asks and I can't copy and paste it anywhere. The fact that the Metamask window reverts back to the start whenever I click away from it and have to open it again makes it almost impossible to use conveniently using cut and paste.
One more issue I have with Metamask is, whenever I close my browser, my settings delete history and cache. This means I have to recover my wallet every time I open my browser. It also means I lose all of the account names and have to enter them again.
This is a great app but the user interface is a nightmare and needs to be sorted. Metamask NEEDS to be able to save your settings even if you clear your cache.
I'm giving Metamask a 2 star rating only because it does work once you work out how to enter your information without the ability to cut and paste

- Rated 1 out of 5by Cc, 2 days agoThe metamask extension upgraded to 13.1.0 version automatically under Firefox browser. The login page can not appear and continue spinning and loading
- Rated 3 out of 5by Velizar, 4 days agoIt's legit and it hasn't been scammy, however it's incredibly buggy and poorly designed. Right now it can't start at all. It sometimes just breaks. That is horrible if your money is relying on this tool working properly on time. Also the UI is not great, especially for gas fees - sometimes I've had a transaction be reverted and it was completely unclear that this was even possible; I constantly had to use "custom" transaction speed and look up gas fees from a 3rd party website because the in-built tools weren't good enough. I'd recommend using a different wallet if possible - for example, Phantom is good. (Also there was a time where I lost the opportunity to earn a few thousand dollars since I was minting NFTs very slowly, because of Metamask on mobile acting very badly under poor network conditions, but I cannot honestly blame them for that - most software isn't designed and well tested for that. 95% of the fault was mine, for not foreseeing that most software gets buggy/bad with unreliable network.)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19003410, 9 days ago32gig ram, i7 13g seems to be insufficient to run Metamask in Firefox
It is getting heavier with each update. Long load. I am afraid it will damage the RAM or SSD.
Maybe the activity and nft section on the home page can largely cause this heavy load.
Very often there is this annoying problem: when making a transaction on a site, the network I am trying to transact on shows correctly in the pop-up, but the transaction fails with an Internal JSON-RPC error. When I open Metamask, the connection network is something else.
Please add a network search field in the Send Token section. I have to search for the network I want from more than 50 networks every time. It is really annoying.
select the network and permissions in previous versions was much better, easier and faster. The reason for this change is really annoying
I hope these problems are resolved very soon. ex updates in Firefox are always behind Chrome :(
Anyway, thanks to the team.
I hope to continue using MetaMask after 4 years. - Rated 1 out of 5by AmyDotH, 11 days agoI am not sure what exactly this addons want to do with 2gb of ram while not having been opened this session? Are the programmers behind this actually trying to use my pc for something else or are you just incompetent?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19415582, 23 days agoI bought ETH, and then used the inbuilt swap option, but instead of a swap it was mysteriously transferred to another wallet. Their support couldn't help.
