How do I get Firefox to prompt me to remember a password for a site that has already been visited?
How do I get Firefox to prompt me to remember a site password for a site that has already been visited (probably in private mode)?
Remove site(s) from the Exceptions:

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.

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.

Someone who used our home computer must have clicked "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" when using one of my shopping sites. So now when I try to sign in to that site, the password and email are already filled in, and I just have to click. Anybody can do that and I want to stop it. Tried changing the password, but it was no good.
I am trying to get Java to work on my Firefox browser. I have followed all the suggestions on the Java website and also all that I can find on the Mozilla support.
Can anyone please help me as this is important to my work.
When I do a check on the java website it says I need a plugin; but when I try to check which plugin, there is no plug in that is available. I have checked my plug in manager and all my plugins are up to date.
Please help. (I have downloaded the latest java - java SE7 update 25)

I'm developing a site that needs to be secure. At the moment on firefox it is remembering a users password and this is very unsecure. I know the user can turn this off but that is not good enough and does not guarantee security of information. I have to get my developers to make it so Firefox cannot remember the password. How do they do it? (They have already added some code which they said would stop major browsers from being able to remember passwords but this didn't work with Firefox). They are probably too proud to go onb a forum and ask for an answer but I'm not!
This forum focuses on end-user support. You can find more web development help on the [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board]. Separate forum, separate registration. Please note the tips in the Sticky Post at the top of the forum before posting.
That said... Firefox honors the setting autocomplete="off" in the form tag. When this attribute is set, users should not be prompted to save the username/password, and it should not be filled automatically. (Is this what wasn't working??)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_Turn_Off_Form_Autocompletion
Knowledgeable users can bypass this setting by running a script to strip this attribute. I doubt that very many users would do that, but if people have to log in very frequently, it is more likely to happen. Users also may use add-ons that manage passwords, and those add-ons might not honor the autcomplete="off" setting. I haven't used any such add-ons, so I don't know the situation there.
I'm sure this isn't completely satisfactory but hopefully it helps to some extent. -
The first time I logged in to a site which has now become a frequently used one, I skipped past the prompt where it asks if you want it to save the password so as not to have to type it in each time. I would like to use that option but don't know how to get it to prompt me again so that I can answer "yes" this time.

Why does my computer freeze when Firefox is open and I start AutoCAD 2011?
I have been able to replicate this issue on 2 machines now. If I open Firefox 6 on my Windows XP Machine and then try to start AutoCAD 2011 the whole computer will freeze and I am required to use the power button to restart the computer. If I open AutoCAD 2011 first and then open Firefox 6 the computer does not freeze.
Maybe a conflict with DLLs that both programs use and AutoCAD needs its own version that is located in the AutoCAD folder. If Firefox is started first then an older version located elsewhere may be loaded that cause AutoCAD to crash or hang.

My Firefox is set up to delete cache, and all history upon closing. But when I restarted my Firefox, or manually deleted everything, nothing worked. Is there a way to reset these? Or do I have to completely uninstall and reinstall Firefox? Even that might not work though.
Try creating a new Profile. See [[Profiles]].
You can recover existing passwords, bookmarks etc., from the current Profile and move them to the new one. See: [[Managing Profiles]] -
Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I deleted the password from the view password window.The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected
When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
Help?Hey!
That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
Thank you! -
I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it
There are two steps when entering a serial number:
When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

I bought the photoshop install online and I put it on my laptop. But now I have a new and better computer for photo and video but I can not figure out how to reinstall my photoshop on this new computer. When I bought it, they said I would be able to install it on 2 different computers. PS they are both PC computers.
