Fire Fox no longer save my user name and passowrds

I am rebuilding my computer after a drive failure.
Fire Fox no longer will same my log in information for site I frequent requiring me to enter name and password each time I open a site. Fire Fox does some time ask if I want the password saved and I click yes but it has no effect on future site openings.
If I look at Saved Passwords under tools/security/save passwords all of the sites in question are saved there but have no reaction when I attempt to open the site.
A second problem. Fire Fox no longer saves recent site opened atop the tool bar on the lower left that has Run, Document, Programs. It used to save the last 5 or 6 programs used. It now only has HP printer saved.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically and won't offer to store new passwords.

For some reason Firefox is not asking if I wish to save the user name and password anymore. Please help as to why.

Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
* https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the login form, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

How do I make Firefox remember my usernames and passwords?

Check and tell if its working.

Upgraded to newest version of Firefox all the links were broken, it will not open in Safe Mode or anywhere else-before I uninstall it I'd like to access save my user names and and passwords from websites- can i access them without opening the browser

i can not launch browser toget version info or anything else, when it upgraded to newest version it stopped working-i've tried launching in Safe Mode and have tried all icons

You can save a copy of your passwords file, but I don't think you can open it without Firefox.
Your passwords file is in your profile folder. You might want to make a backup copy of the whole folder. Info on locating the folder: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
You may want to try reinstalling Firefox 3.6. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

How do I save my user name a password for a site that doesn't automatically ask me if I wish to?

Normally Firefox will ask if I wish to save the user name and password for the site I've just logged into. This time it did not ask me this. Is there somewhere that I can add this information so I don't have to remember it for when I come back in a year from now and am trying to log on again? I went to tools>internet options>security>passwords but nothing there seemed relevant.

Some sites block passwords from being saved. For more details and how to bypass this see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered

Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

I'm on a web site that requires a user name and password to enter the site., but Firefox has never asked me if I want to save this info. Is it possible to do this even though Firefox never asked me?

This is the only site that Firefox has not asked me to save user name and password.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

How to save user name and password on client tool

Hi,
In our landscape, few users are using webi rich client tool to work offline. They are entering login credentials manually everytime. Is there any way to save the user id and password, so that user can login without manually entering the login credentials everytime. Please find below my system details. Please anyone help is highly appreciated.
System Details:
Server: BOBI 4.1 SP2
Client tool : BOBI 4.1 SP2
Authentication type : Windows AD
Thanking you in anticipation
Obinna.

Hello,
oh yes it is!
The Question is for which Front- Ends?
For the WRC you dont have to do anything as long as the Information under "System" is correct and "Windows AD" is selected under "Authentication. Leave "Username" and "Password" blank.
Just hit "OK" and you are logged in.
Regards
-Seb.

My email account has disappeared from my iphone4. No longer listed. Tried to set up new email account but now won't accept my user name and or password.

Finally went to the Apple shop where a nice young man explained that I had to use the original password not the recently changed password - case sensitive too - and finally have installed the updated Adobe Flash player with no shaking! Maybe this helps you too. JL

Will using time machine also save online user names?

Will using time machine also save online user names, such as online banking, forum login etc.?

If you're using a web browser which remembers that information, yes.

My DigitalPersona Personal is no longer working. It does not appear so I can use my fingerprint to fill in user names and passwords.

The DigitalPersona Personal icon does not come up now that I've installed Firefox 4.0 beta.

I found a reference to workaround on an HP forum that has solved the problem for me. DP does not support FF 4 and the company does not plan to do so in the future. However, there is a Firefox AddOn called FingerFoxSE that bridges the incompatibility of DP and FF 4. I have installed it and it works fine. You will have to manually register all of your user names and passwords again but FingerFox handles the web pages and then calls DP to verify the password instead of having FF call DP directly. I am running Windows 7 with FF 4 final ad DigitalPersona 4.10.3790.

Safari 3.2.1 User Names and Password Retention

Despite having checked the box in autofill to save user names and passwords, Safari no longer asks me whether I want to save them in the keychain. Also, I wonder if there is a different kind of glitch, as my screen for that window (under edit) does not show anything except remove and *remove all* and done. It has nothing for me to add user names and passwords if I wanted to do so manually. How can I convince Safari to memorize these user names and passwords? I've saved them for months, but all of a sudden they seem to have decided to take a long vacation.

Do you suggest the one about Safari Forms Autofill or some other one?
Leave the Safari Forms alone. Instead, delete any specific keychain entry relative to a web site with which you are having a problem. To facilitate the search, use the Spotlight Panel within the Keychain Access app. by typing in part or all of the related site name. When the entry appears, simply click on it, then press the delete key.
Regarding your comment about Safari's Auto-Fill, not sure what would automatically deselect this function within Safari. Might be a corrupt Safari preference file. To create a new file, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. You'll need to reestablish any custom settings in System Preferences, plus in Safari's View Menu.
