Under Tools, Options, Security; how do I add a site to the "exception" box to prevent a password from being saved?

I would like to add a site to the "exceptions" box under "tools", "options", "security". This is to prevent the computer from saving a password for that site.

Some sites (like and others) like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use ''autocomplete="off"'' to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
If a site uses ''autocomplete="off"'' then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.

  • How do I add a site to the exception list using Mac book Air OS Lion 10.7.4

    Any advice please?

    I am using Safari to access some sites, but the pop-up blocker is preventing some sites from loading and I get a message : Add this site to the exception list
    Any advice on how to do this because I don't want to turn off my pop-up blocker.

  • How do I add a site into the exceptions option in saved passwords?

    I've checked the "remember passwords for sires" box, and when I click the "exceptions" button to add a site, I am unable to add a site.

    Sites are added to the Exceptions list when Firefox asks if you want to save the password and you answer '''Never'''. There isn't a way of adding a website to that list manually.

  • Under Tools/Options/Security how to print out Saved Passwords screen?

    You can use the Password Exporter extension to export the passwords to an XML or CSV file and print this file.

    No.  I have a number of items in the Event Library.  I am trying to move some of them to the Project Library and when I do it attaches itself to the other project I have there.

  • How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmark toolbar permanently and delete it from the Recntly Bookmarked list?

    It seems to me that in a previous version of Firefox that one could add a bookmark to the Bookmarks Toolbar and have it stay there.
    I like to keep things neat and tidy. Now when I delete this bookmark from the Recently Bookmarked list (or the Unsorted Bookmarks list), Firefox insists only deleting it from the Bookmarks Toolbar as well.
    How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmarks toolbar and keep it there? Am I required to keep it in the Recently Bookmarked and/or Unsorted Bookmarks list in order to have it remain on the Bookmarks Toolbar?

    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
    * Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    * Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    * If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
    * If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.

  • How can I add new sites to the "Most Visited"-Latest Headlines baqr?

    In Windows XP I had a bar in Firefox where I could add frequently accessed sites such as news websites and brokerages.
    == I got a new computer with Windows 7.

    Latest Headlines is a RSS Live feed and such feeds show a list that is retrieved from a website via an XML file.
    You can't add items from or remove items from such a list.
    "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox 3.
    The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
    The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
    You can open a bookmark from such a list in a tab and click the star on the location bar or use the Bookmark menu item 'Bookmark This Page' to see the location (folder) and edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location, folder) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark.

  • Under tools, options the box for popups keeps becoming unchecked

    I select tools, options and place a check mark in the popups section and select OK. This works for a short while. Then I start getting popups. I check back under tools, options and now there is no check mark in the popups option. Place check mark again and select OK. Then again the check mark turns off.

    What security or anti-virus applications do you have installed? <br />
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked#Other_software_disables_the_popup_blocker
    You may have an external application that is turning off that Firefox preference after a computer restart. If that happens only after Firefox is re-started, there might be a hidden preference added to Firefox via a user.js file. <br />

  • How do you add a format to the "Date Picker Format Mask" available formats?

    Hi,
    When I select the Date Picker Format Mask or "Number / Date Format" they doen't have YYYYMMDD or others that may be desired...
    How do you add a format to the available formats?
    Thank you, Bill

    Bill - From the popup help text:
    If you need to create a Date Picker item, but the format you need does not appear in the Display As list, select Date Picker (use application format mask). When an application uses this type of date picker, the Application Express engine derives the date format from an item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK. You can populate this item in two ways:
    - By defining an application substitution string named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
    - By creating an application-level item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
    See the doc for more details.

  • An unknown website just appeared in my 'exceptions' list (Tools Options Security "warn me when sites try to install add-ons"-how could this happen?

    downloaded Firefox onto friends' laptop last night. Found it necessary to place two websites in the (afore-mentioned) "Exceptions" category. shut down/re-booted three-four times over the next few hours before shutting down the laptop and going to bed. Booted up this am and, WHOA!-suddenly my menu/toolbars have new, undesired toolbars(?) search boxes(?): the search box, if I remember right, was labeled "My Web Search sponsored by iwon!" Whilst eliminating the intruders I became aware that by some unknown means I had fetched up on some webpage I've never heard of and had no reason to go to-( the very top of my display (above the menu and address bar) read: 'reason upgrade Search' (separated by a line symbol I can't reproduce here), then 'Musician's Friend' ....HUH? (feeling like Dorothy w/o a tornado transport). So I finish getting rid of the invaders and check out my History to try to figure out how I wound up at this website. my history indicates the last site I visited before going to bed, then 'aclk' (www.google/aclk? followed by a string of mixed symbols letters etc. Then 'redirect' (www.rkdms.com/redirect?c=....and a string of numbers and letters. Then the website"reason upgrade Search (?) Musician's Friend " then 'redirect.jhtml' (www.search.mywebsearch.com/mywe.........) Them 'Firefox Web Browser& Thunder....' still no clue how or why I wound up at that site..didn't go there, (not of my volition, anyways!!) so im checking my security settings and in Tools>options>Security>advanced> in the "Exceptions" category of "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons" is a website I've never heard of (getpersonas.com) and DID NOT enter!!!!!!!.Need to know how this could happen, how to prevent recurrence and how hard should I hit the panic button because right now I'm totally freaked!
    == today

    These prefs get set to an empty String once the sites have been added to the whitelist if the pref is not empty if you open the exception window.
    Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
    You can reset these prefs on the about:config page.
    xpinstall.whitelist.add - addons.mozilla.org
    xpinstall.whitelist.add.36 - getpersonas.com
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • How do I add a SITE, USERNAME, and PASSWORD to the list in - Tools/Options/Security/Saved Passwords ?

    How do I force Firefox to remember and use my username and password for a site ?

    #Tools -> Options -> Security - tick "remember passwords"
    #Log in to a website
    You should be asked to save the user name and password upon login.

  • How do I add "exceptions" to the "remember passwords for sites" feature in Tools/Options/Security?

    I like when FireFox remembers and automatically posts user names and password when I go on to most sites. But there are some I do not wish to automatically be posted. However, when I select "Exceptions" within the Tools/Options/Security/Remember Passwords For Sites pathway, all I can do is see the sites that are exceptions. This facility doesn't seem to allow you to add a site (which would then become an exception). Please advise.

    Tools > Options > Security > Passwords: Exceptions
    Include those that you do not want to save passwords for, such as those regard banks, credit cards, or other financial institutions.
    To remove one already created use the "Saved Passwords" on that dialog,
    after supplying master password (twice if you view passwords),
    :Select the site and use "Remove" to remove the unwanted password.
    :Certainly hope you do assign a Master Password to provide some protection to your passwords.
    I like that '''about:permissions''' noted by xr417, it does same as above, but allows you to modify something already in system easier. Don't think I've seen that before. Did a search on bank and found an old account/password -- don't even want an old one there.
