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?

I would really appreciate firefox closing when I click the red x. I get the retarded "firefox has quit working" Of course it quit, I CLOSED IT

hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

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.

This has to do with remembering password option.

This has to do with remembering password option. I think my wife checked of "Never for This Site" by mistake, for her yahoo mail login.
Is there a way to fix this? Note, I know that it works because I've been getting the remember this password option when I enter a fresh yahoo mail id. We just don't get that option when she enters her yahoo mail id.

No, this did not solve my problem.
I know this because I can activate remember my password for a different Yahoo Mail Id. So, the remember password process works for one Yahoo Mail Id, but not for my wife's.
I did this by deleting (using delete key) one of my Yahoo Ids from the autofill display of it, then by signing onto Yahoo Mail with that Id, and I got the message with the key icon on the left "Do you want Firefox to remember the password for "xxxxxx" on yahoo.com" with the three options to the right:
Remember, Never for This Site and Not Now.
So, my cookies, history settings are fine. (By the way, I don't see Cookies when I go to Privacy...my Firefox doesn't show this).
I can't think of any other reason why she doesn't get the reminder message, other than she initially selected Never for This Site, by mistake after she signed in for the first time.
I think one possible solution is to remove Firefox and then reinstall it. I'm thinking that this will clear all autofill settings, including the setting of my wife's Yahoo Id which must be "Never for This Site."
But isn't there another way to reverse that setting? To undo the "Never for This Site" setting, so that the reminder message appears after signing into Yahoo Mail?

There is no "Remember Password" option when logging into iTunes

Everytime I open iTunes (Windows) I have to log in. This isnt a big deal, its more of an annoyance. I do not see the "Remember Password" option that used to be there, has this option been removed?
Ive tried several solutions posted on the forums but none of them work, (ie. clear cache, reset settings, reinstall..yada yada yada)
See screen shot...

Any ideas?
I do not have this issue on my other PC, I have also Authorized this PC, so Im at a loss.

I'm on a PC. Maybe that makes a difference. And I went directly to apple.com; I did not launch the store from Itunes -- so perhaps that's the difference.
Whatever it is I am never presented with a command bar that looks anything like yours.
The following image is from when I am actually accessing my account data:
No log-in; no screenname; no log-out -- And yet I am in a secure domain.

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

My home page is Google but everytime I close Firefox it opens to the last page viewed. Startup is set to "show my homepage" but it's still not working. HELP!!

My home page is Google but everytime I close Firefox it opens to the last page viewed. Startup is set to "show my homepage" but it's still not working. I've tried so many things but nothing seems to work. Can someone please give me "Simple" answer.

Running FF 18, lots of my add ons no good with 20 on PC.
Thanks

Firefox' remember password prompt appears as expected but doesn't allow to click on its first option.

Since I installed Firefox 20, everytime I visit a new site where I enter a login and password, it prompts me to remember the password as it always used to do. However, the only choice I have is to click on 'no' or 'later' from the pop-up menu. The first option 'remember password' doesn't work. It looks normal (i.e. not greyed out or anything), it is clickable, bun when clicked on it, nothing happens. The prompt dialogue stays open and the password wasn't remembered.
I already tried in safe mode, it's the same story.
Could someone please help me with this? I don't feel like having to remember all new passwords by heart...
Thanks.

I also have this issue on my Dell XPS 15 laptop with the Nvidia Geforce 540M and the temporary fix is turning off hardware acceleration. I do believe that this should only be a temporary fix and that the Mozilla developers should figure out a way to work around this or fix this hardware acceleration issue with the nvidia geforce 540m.

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

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.

Never remember password option fails to add site to Exceptions list

In Firefox 24.0, I visit a website and enter username/password. Popup asks if I want to remember the password. I select Never Remember Password for this Site. I logout and log back-in. After entering username/password, I'm asked again if I want to Remember Password.
Privacy tab: Always use private browsing mode is unchecked
Security tab: when I click Exceptions, there is nothing showing in the popup window
How do I get FF to add the website to the exceptions list so it will stop asking if I want to Remember Password everytime I visit the site?

Password Manager settings
Firefox will remember passwords by default. You may have disabled this feature, or told Firefox to never remember passwords for a particular site.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options .
Select the Security panel.
If it isn't already check marked, check Remember passwords for sites.
To the right of Remember passwords for sites, click the Exceptions… button .
Make sure that the site you're trying to log in to isn't in the list.
If it is, select the entry and click Remove.
Click Close.
Click OK to close the Options window .

I cannot close the 'remember password' window

When Firefox asks me if I would like it to remember the password for a particular site (including this one, as it happens) it is impossible to make the 'remember password?' window go away.
Clicking on 'Remember' doesn't do anything. Nor does clicking on the 'close window' cross in the corner. Nothing makes the window go away and it just stays there, in front of the menus and icons, until I close and restart Firefox.
This has been a problem since Firefox 4 and is still not fixed in Firefox 6.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.
See:
* "Troubleshooting" in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox.
If you see passwords in the Password Manager (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords > "Saved Passwords") then you can save the existing passwords with the Password Exporter extension before removing the files and re-import them afterward.
* Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

How can I make firefox remember passwords on ALL sites?

Firefox has a feature to remember my passwords, which is very useful. However, some sites mess with this so they won't save my passwords. In some cases these sites turn "autocomplete" off for the password field in their html; in other cases they appear to use some kind of javascript magic to stop me from saving my passwords.
First of all, why should websites try to stop me from saving my password? Do they really think its more secure if people have to write their passwords on stickynotes on their monitor to remember them--or worse, use the same password on all sites? I what way is it conceivably more secure? In any case it's MY business how I manage my passwords--not theirs!
I have had some success in battling evil sites that try to stop my from saving my passwords by editing the nsLoginManager.js file. But this is not convenient as I must keep doing this every time firefox gets upgraded, and it doesn't work for some sites like American Express which I think use some sort of javascript to stop me from doing what I want.
So my question is, how can I effectively make firefox remember ALL the passwords I want, when _I_ want to--and NOT obey evil websites that just want to practice CYA while actually making me LESS secure?

You can use the Remember Password bookmarklet: 
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password ''Has worked for me when I have needed it to save a password on a web site that used autocomplete=off.'' As far as the Bug that '''cor-el''' linked, I can't remember ever running across a website that did it like that.
Or, you can use the Saved Password Editor extension, which includes a means of manually adding Username/Passwords to Firefox. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60265

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, "Remember passwords option gets unchecked"
