Firefox is not saving history even with remember history preference turned on.

Firefox is not saving history even with remember history preference turned on. I have tried reinstalling Firefox but this has not solved the issue. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that you keep history.

Mozilla Firefox is not saving any of my usernames or passwords

Mozilla Firefox is not saving any of my usernames or passwords on any of the sites I visit and I'm wondering why. I clicked on Tools then I clicked on Options then clicked on the Security tab then under Passwords I checkmarked "Remember passwords for sites" then I clicked OK. When I visit sites that I regularly go on none of my usernames or passwords are saved. I have to type them in. Why is this?? How can I fix this??
Here are the sites that I regularly visit that won't save my usernames or passwords:
www.singlesnet.com
www.plentyoffish.com
www.evow.com
www.datehookup.com
www.christiandatingforfree.com
www.facebook.com
www.twitter.com
Somebody please help!!!!!!!!

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? 
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.

Firefox is not saving my passwords.

I have followed the instructions in the article titled "Usernames and passwords are not saved" but Firefox is not saving my passwords. What am I doing wrong? I am running Windows 8.1.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.

Firefox does not stop loading even after the site is loaded and continues as if it is still loading. I have clocked it to 15 minutes, why?

Sorry, I should distinguish between slow loading and manual reloading.
I understood your problem to be that Firefox never finished loading the page, i.e., some part of the page was loading too slowly.
By reloading, I meant Ctrl+r (or the reload button), to manually reload the page. You can disregard any cached files and reload all content fresh from the server by adding the Shift key, i.e., Ctrl+Shift+r (helpful when specific sites do not load correctly).
If the page is automatically reloading itself over and over, that sounds like a completely different problem.

When my Firefox language settings are fr_fr or fr_ca Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly when it is displayed in a javascript alert box. However, it does display it correctly when my language settings are just fr. Please t

Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time. Is this an antenna problem? Or something else ?

Your iphone is right, it is not supported. The iphone's bluetooth protocols do not include file transfer, but are intendes only for headsets, stereo headphones, cars, and keyboards.

Firefox 26 not saving logins OR passwords after clicking "Remember me"?

Problem:
Began having this issue about a month ago, after altering some Google privacy settings. I then went on a rampage of cookie deleting and disabled all third party cookies... and managed, somehow, to disable Firefox's ability to remember /any/ website's "remember me".
I constantly have to log in to every account each time I exit the webpage, even after clicking the remember me box.
Passwords and login info are still stored; they auto-fill when I click on the fill-in bars; but accounts refuse to stay logged-in.
Additional info:
After toying around with the google settings, that didn't fix things.
Re-enabling third party cookies didn't fix things.
Privacy/Security Add Ons include: Ghostery 5.1, Adblock Plus 2.4.1, WOT
Changing security settings in the Options -> Firefox Privacy didn't fix things.
Resetting Firefox didn't fix things.
"Remember form & search history" is on.
Everything in privacy is currently checked EXCEPT "Use private browsing".
Using Firefox 26.

Then you have a problem with cookies.
''Soniahryn wrote:''

Click the '''Exceptions''' button and delete any unwanted entries. ''Block'' exceptions will prevent cookies from the respective domain from being saved altogether, while ''Allow for Session'' exceptions will delete cookies from the respective domain once Firefox is closed.
If you don't have any cookie exceptions, does the problem go away if you disable all your add-ons in the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category and restart Firefox? If yes, then see
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
If the problem persists with all extensions disabled, try the following.
# Under '''[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track|Options - Privacy]]''', set ''Firefox will: Remember history''.
# Open '''[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|your profile folder]]'''.
# Exit Firefox.
# Delete the ''cookies.sqlite'' file and if found, also ''cookies.sqlite-shm'' and ''cookies.sqlite-wal''. Note that this will discard any saved cookies you may have.

Firefox does not save history and bookmarks and I can't even clear history.

Hi, I would like to ask some help regarding my firefox.
At first, I have this Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 where it all started.
I can't remember really when, but I just noticed that I can't clear my history even though I checked all and selected "Everything". Already tried re-installing FF, still none.
Then another one is that, it does not save history. All the history it saved were from the past. No new history can be added.
Please help me..

Firefox will not retain history of Gen Circles tabs that I visit

I just uploaded Firefox 31.0 and rebooted. That night when I did some family tree research, using Gen Circles, I noted
that the sites that I visited were not saved in the History.
In the past when I clicked on a site, it's title would go to red and would remain that color to indicate that I had been there.
This would stay highlighted for a week or so, and maybe even longer.
But, it does not do that now, making it hard for me to keep track of what sites I have visited.
Can anyone give me some help or advice.
I am using an Imac desk top computer, which has OS 10.6.

Its not just the web site that is recorded, but the page also.
Did you open your history ( '''Control Shift H''' ) and search for the site ?
