Everytime I close firefox it loses my passwords and settings

everytime I close firefox it loses my passwords and settings, I went and took the tick out of the box so that when I clean my cache they should not be deleted. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and it still will not remember passwords etc. I am running windows 7, plenty of ram and gigs to spare. This time I installed mozilla firefox yahoo!7 edition yahooauk-1.8 it says it is up to date

Go to Options -> Advanced -> General and turn off hardware acceleration.

Every time I close Firefox I lose my address and seach bar.

When I close or "X" out of Fire fox then go back in (even after a few seconds) I lose my Address bar and Search bar. I have tried resetting the defaults and adding in the other icons (cut, copy, past, print, ect...) and have even created a tool bar just for the two.

no luck deleted the file and restarted FF but after making changes (adding a tool bar for URL and search), closing and re-opening I still lost the added tool bar.
Edit: The two do stay if I don't add the extra bar. Thanks for the help I'm just going to have to get use to it I guess.

It seems everytime I close Firefox, I'm unable to restart it without having to logoff then on again first, so what's wrong?

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

Copying wireless router password and settings to a new Powerbook

I recently bought a second 15" powerbook after my girlfriend bought my former one.
I bought a Lynksys WRT54G Wireless G Router and after some configuration, I successfully connected her powerbook to my DSL connection wirelessly. However I now am having trouble connecting my new PB wirelessly. I am a bit apprehensive about messing with setting a new password, etc, since I might mess up her wireless connection. I remember it took some time to set the router properly.
Is there a way to copy, and or see, ALL of the settings that I configured in her powerbook for this Lynksys Router, so I can copy them correctly to mine?
When I tried before, I had something screwed up because I kept getting different errors as I tried different settings.
So I need to retrieve the PASSWORD and SETTINGS for the Lynksys Router from her BP and copy them to mine.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Richard

Thanks for that info.
I will post this to the Airport section.
The problem is that even after copying all of the settings from my girlfriends PB, including a long password starting with a $, my airport won't connect to the Lynksys wireless network. Airport is turned on (on my powerbook), and 'Ive chosen the proper wireless network with the proper password in network settings. I also added my PB Mac address to the Lynksys router when I was hooked up via an ethernet cable, but I still can't connect the the wireless network. I have both Powerbooks side by side. Hers connects wirelessly and mine doesn't.
I'm missing a setting somewhere, I believe.
Thanks,
Richard

HT5622 Can i change my apple id on some devices that i have and not lose my apps and settings?

Can i change my apple id on some devices that i have and not lose my apps and settings?

Yes. However, note that all Apps purchased/downloaded under one Apple ID will forever be tied to it, and will require it to update. They will run, but will not update without the other Apple ID
You can go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID and change it there for the stores.
You can also go to Settings->iCloud, Facetime, Messages, and change it for those individual services.

Everytime I close Firefox, "Remember passwords option gets unchecked"

I recently noticed that Firefox is NOT remembering my passwords. When I go to Options->Security-> and check "Remember Passwords," the options stays checked ONLY FOR THAT SESSION. When I close Firefox, and then reopen it, the check box is always "unchecked."

If that line is missing then that means that the pref has the default "true" value and in that case the box should be checked on the next start.
You did try Save mode to see if an extension is changing that setting?

Everytime I close firefox, sync forgets that I used it

I have used sync on two different computers. It works perfectly while the browser is open, but as soon as I close it and reopen the browser, Firefox asks me to setup Sync all over again.
I do use pretty secure settings, and Firefox is set to delete all of my personal data everytime I close the browser, but this shouldn't affect sync. I want to use sync primarily for open tabs on other computers and for bookmark transfers.
Hope someone can help. This is pretty frustrating, considering I've setup sync on these same two computers about 10 times.

The password for the Sync server and the Sync key are both stored in the Password Manager, so if you clear the passwords then that data is lost and you will have to re-enter it.

Everytime i close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. 6 times.

browsing normally, close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. i click ok. then another comes up. i click ok. 6 times total this error message comes up, every time i close firefox. really annoying.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

You can also try to repair the disk permissions:

I love app tabs but everytime I close firefox they are not there when I open it, help

I just discovered app tabs and found it really easy to set them up but each time I close Firefox and then reopen, all the app tabs I have set no longer exist. How do I get them to save?

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
