Everytime i close firefox and re-open the browser it forgets my passwords to my websites, like it has amnesia. why?

its only my account on my laptop that does this.
my boyfriend's account allows him to open firefox browser and it goes right to his facebook without him having to sign in everytime.
not just that website, hotmail, google, they all work for his and not mine. all of the system settings are exactly the same. I've examined every setting I have access to and I can't tell what's wrong.

Try changing your startup option to your home page or a blank tab here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > General > "When Firefox starts"

  • How to close and re-open the browser

    I have just downloaded a program and to fully install it it is requesting that I close the browser and re-open it. I don't know how to close and re-open the browser. Can you tell me how to close and re-open the browser? Thank you

    It is always best to use File > Exit<br />
    That will close all open windows, so if there are still other windows open then these won't close if you use the close X on the title bar.
    Also make sure that you do not have security software that is locking files in the Firefox program folder.

  • When I close firefox and then open, all my tabs disapear.

    When I close Firefox and then open Firefox all my tabs disapear.

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • When ever I open firefox it always go to the page I last had open. How do I make it so that after I close firefox and next open it that it will go to my home page instead?

    The above should be more then enough detail. I do not want the page I was on saved if I close firefox. I didn't used to do this. Before I performed a reformat(yesterday) firefox always went to my home page on launching firefox. I don't know why, it just always did maybe it was a carried over setting from the previous version of firefox or something. The only time it ever didn't was if firefox crashed, which in that case is the only time I want my current page and tabs saved. Can you tell me what I can do to make it so it doesn't do this? This is extremely irritating and unless I can fix it I'm switching to chrome.

    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    #Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

  • When i try to load certain page, the system crashed and the bottom panel states " stopped" but when I close and open firefox again,it can't and I get this message that says my firefox is still running and to open the browser i need to restart the compu

    while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == just happened

    You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
    Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
    Find your profile folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
    Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

  • When I close Firefox and re-open it, all previously cached images are NOT loaded from cache. Why?

    I have a website. Google recommended page-speed and I had previously installed fire-bug. I open Firefox and inspect my website - the home page loads in approx 2 seconds. I may follow a variety of links and all images ( expiry life of 3 months ), css and js files ( expiry life 1 hour ) are cached so that each screen loaded takes less time. If I close firefox get on with other work and then re-open it, its like the images were never cached - what's the point of caching if its ignored?

    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox or use cleanup software that clears session data (sessionstore.js)

  • When I open the browser I get 2 password prompts. How do I stop this?

    Since updating to the current version of Firefox (3.6.10), the password prompt has moved to the top right of the screen instead of the center, and I get 2 prompts. I can close the first and enter the password into the second for the browser to start, or enter the password twice.
    Is there any way to rectify this?

  • Everytime I close Firefox and then try to reopen it, it says that I am unable to do so as Firefox is already running (even though it's closed) and I have to restart my laptop all the time.

    For about a week now when I have closed Firefox down then I try to reopen it the screen message states that Firefox is already running and I have to restart my laptop every time. This is becoming very frustrating and time-consuming.

    I have the same problem on my notebook but I don't restart. Just do the control, alt, delete and bring up your task manager. Then scroll down to Firefox, end process and close. Now you should be able to restart FF. Not a fix but better than having to restart your laptop.

  • No matter what fixes I've tried, everytime I close Firefox and then reopen it, it has lost everything I changed or added! It reverts back to the default "welcome to Firefox"! Every fricken time!

    I downloaded the 3.6.12 version. I have Windows 7, could that be the problem? I used Firefox exclusively when I had Windows XP and never had this problem!

    Does this help [[Preferences are not saved]]

  • I did a dumb thing and clicked on "Start Private Browsing". Ever since then I have not been able to set my home page in Firefox. I have tried dozens of times and each time I close Firefox and re-open it - My homepage is BLANK.

    This is so frustrating and this question/answer place is my last resort. How do I get my favorite home page back? Sure hope you can help me.

    When I open firefox before connecting (via 56k modem) or if I leave a previous section open, disconnect and then reconnect, firfox does not work, it remains offline, even though internet is connected. I have to close firefox and reopen

    Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

  • What's the difference between keep cookies until I close firefox and clear cookie history when firefox closes?

    In the settings for Firefox 33.0 (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 but the functionality is the same for Windows 7) there are two different ways to delete cookies when firefox closes. Or at least there seems to be.
    First is the keep cookies until firefox closes
    Second is to check the box to clear history when firefox closes and in the settings check cookies.
    What is the difference between these two options?
    I usually have both setup but I was noticing that a login was not saving for td canada trust easyweb, even though I have an exception set for it. Now I unchecked to delete cookies when clearing the history on close and the login saves correctly.
    This login saves 7 cookes under easyweb.td.com and 10 cookies under td.com and I have exceptions set for both. If I clear history on close and include cookies, half of the td.com cookies are gone when I close firefox and re-open. The same is true if I don't set the exception.
    So currently I cannot figure out a way to keep all the cookies if I clear cookie history when firefox closes. What is the difference when this is enabled?

    Let all cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"
    Create a cookie 'allow' exception for cookies that you would like to keep.
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
    Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

  • ISP has floating IP and changes several times a day - how do I set Foxfire to automatically detect and update the IP when I attempt to open the browser?

    If I log off my ISP automatically changes the IP address, when I used Windows Explorer I was able to tell it to automatically detect the new IP so I did not have a problem. With Foxfire I have to manually go out get the new IP and then open the browser - this is a PIA.

    When entering the URL either as your home page or new tab page, I suggest using the full URL https://www.google.com/ since otherwise there is a slight delay as Google redirects Firefox to the secure page.
