Can't get firefox to remember my e-mail and password for hotmail

I got a new computer, windows 7 now. firefox won't ask to let me save my login and password for it. I checked and it's not on an exception list. Also now it logs out all the way from facebook when I close the browser. Any help out there?

You can't make Firefox remember the name and password in the Password Manager because the login form is created via JavaScript and that doesn't work with Firefox.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you on is stored in a cookie. 
Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed. 
Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences" when you close Firefox.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

How do i set firefox to remember my user id and password for yahoo mail. i've changed my yahoo password, so i want firefox to remember the new ones.

I want to know how to set firefox to remember my yahoo mail id and password. i've changed my password, but firefox only remember the old password. So, i've erased it in the security settings.

If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
Yahoo uses "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords, so you need to use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet.
You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.

How can I get Firefox to remember my AOL sign in & password?

My wife & I use the same computer and both use AOL for Email. Both of our usernames & passwords would come up on the Email sign in page, so we could just choose the appropriate one. Then a while ago AOL made me change my password, but the password didn't change on the sign in page, so i would have to delete it each time & put in the new one. I didn't realize that the password was stored in Firefox. So yesterday I contacted AOL & they had me click on tools then options then security then saved passwords then highlight https.//my.screenname.aol.com and then delete it. So now when we go to the sign in page, only her info is there, & if I delete hers & put in mine Firefox doesn't ask If I want Firefox to remember the password. I would like to get it back to where it remembers both again. Thank you

This website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

How can I get Firefox to remember an existing password which was set before Firefox was installed?

Never mind: I misread your problem.

How can I get firefox to remember my password?

I removed my user name and password under stored passwords because the password was changed. How can I get it to store the user name and password again because the pop up for it never shows up?

If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or after reloading the login page. 
If you have problems to remember a new password then make sure that you remove all entries from that server (look for an empty name as well) and also check the exceptions to make sure that the site is not listed there.

Yahoo states that I cannot utilize email chat or messenger unless I have Firefox 8. How can I get Firefox 8? I downloaded 9 and now can't chat with friends and family in Yahoo...**sigh**

Hi Tgordineer,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!

Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.

Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac. How can I reset it. A friend needs this computer and I need to update and remove software, etc.

Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)

How can I get firefox to remember my most used websites when I change tabs?

Have downloaded a new firefox and whilst the history is remembered I can't get my most used websites to comeup and when I move away from home page I get trovi which I have never used and don't want to use - just want things as they were

Hi, I'm afraid Trovi is a browser hijacker, which will mess around with Firefox. Please work through [http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/ this article] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware this article.] Hopefully one or more of the malware removers will fix it.

How can I get Firefox to remember a password?

I was trying to log in to a website but had forgotten my password so I was routed to the security questions. Each time I entered a security question answer, the little Firefox box popped up asking me if I wanted Firefox to remember this "password". Each time I clicked on "Not now" and continued. When I had finally been sent a temporary password, logged into the site and changed the password, I logged out and logged in again. Of course, this time the little box did not pop up offering to remember the password! How do I get Firefox to remember my password?

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.

How can I get Firefox to remember my open tabs the way it once did?

In the past, each time I reopened Firefox, the tabs which I had had opened opened back up. But the other day I accidentally installed a "Radio.... something or other" toolbar while trying to listen to an ESPN press conference. After I added that toolbar, the next time I opened Firefox, none of my tabs re-opened, so I uninstalled the toolbar, but now, when I close Firefox, with several tabs open, and then re-open it, it does not remember the previously open tabs.
Thanks,
Doug Weiskopf

hello doug, this toolbar was probably adware which still left remnants on your system, so please perform all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

How come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

Thank you for your reply.
My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
Regards.

How can I get Firefox to remember a password for a site I originally told it not to? The site is not found in the exceptions area of passwords either.

I initially said for Firefox to NOT remember a password for COZI.com, my online calendar site. Now I would like it to, but cannot find a place to make that happen. I checked under TOOLS/OPTIONS/SECURITY/PASSWORDS. The site is not listed under exceptions either. Is there a way to make this happen?

I do not see that form in the page source, so it looks that it the login form gets created via JavaScript and the Firefox Password Manager doesn't work in such cases. Form fill may store the name.
