Firefox 26 not saving logins OR passwords after clicking "Remember me"?

Problem:
Began having this issue about a month ago, after altering some Google privacy settings. I then went on a rampage of cookie deleting and disabled all third party cookies... and managed, somehow, to disable Firefox's ability to remember /any/ website's "remember me".
I constantly have to log in to every account each time I exit the webpage, even after clicking the remember me box.
Passwords and login info are still stored; they auto-fill when I click on the fill-in bars; but accounts refuse to stay logged-in.
Additional info:
After toying around with the google settings, that didn't fix things.
Re-enabling third party cookies didn't fix things.
Privacy/Security Add Ons include: Ghostery 5.1, Adblock Plus 2.4.1, WOT
Changing security settings in the Options -> Firefox Privacy didn't fix things.
Resetting Firefox didn't fix things.
"Remember form & search history" is on.
Everything in privacy is currently checked EXCEPT "Use private browsing".
Using Firefox 26.

Then you have a problem with cookies.

Click the '''Exceptions''' button and delete any unwanted entries. ''Block'' exceptions will prevent cookies from the respective domain from being saved altogether, while ''Allow for Session'' exceptions will delete cookies from the respective domain once Firefox is closed.
If you don't have any cookie exceptions, does the problem go away if you disable all your add-ons in the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category and restart Firefox? If yes, then see
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
If the problem persists with all extensions disabled, try the following.
# Under '''[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track|Options - Privacy]]''', set ''Firefox will: Remember history''.
# Open '''[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|your profile folder]]'''.
# Exit Firefox.
# Delete the ''cookies.sqlite'' file and if found, also ''cookies.sqlite-shm'' and ''cookies.sqlite-wal''. Note that this will discard any saved cookies you may have.

Why is firefox not saving previously stored passwords after upgrade to 33.0, all proper settings to have this happen are selected and were in previous version.

After I upgraded to FF 33.0, none of my previous website usernames or passwords were saved when I browsed them. None! I have looked at FAQ responses and carefully looked at my 'Privacy' settings and they are all set to have FF save user names and/or passwords. My cookie settings are 'remember browsing...history' - 'remember search...history' - 'Accept cookies...' 'Accept third-party cookies / Never - and 'Keep until I close FF'
Do I need to select 'Keep until: they expire' for cookies?

hello tom, can you try to remove the remember passwords addon (this is now longer needed, since firefox is now ignoring the autocomplete=off parameter in password fields by default), restart the browser and see if this is making any difference?

Captive Wi-Fi network not saving login and password

Since yesterday my iPhone 5S stopped asking if I want to save the login and password information when start a session on a captive Wi-Fi network. The settings Safari>Passwords & Autofill is on and Safari isn't in Private mode. It was working until yesterday and had the option to automatically fill in when I touched the login field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
iPhone 5S - iOS 8.0.2

Well, I tried to duplicate what you talked about. I have my wireless here at home, and I chose, "Forget this network" and when I went to rejoin, it asked for a password. Many public networks take their username and password through the browser. Have you tried to open Safari to see if it will default to the username/password screen? I've used mine at hotels that change their access every 24 hours and if I try to log back on after the time, it defaults back to the login screen. That is the only solution that I can think of. And yes, if you go to settings and reset network settings, it will clear all of them.

Fcx4 bin clips are not appearing in the viewer after clicking on them.

fcx4 bin clips are not appearing in the viewer after clicking on them , i need help getting them to appear in the viewer.

I have the same issue. I am using apex.oracle.com for some test applications, but for last couple of weeks when I login and click the "Application builder" I could not see my applications there (around 4-5 of them)! It says No applications found.
Neither I have any application groups setup nor do any criteria given in "Application" search field under "Application builder".
The only way I could access some, if not all, of my applications is to pull it from the link under the context box "Recent" (which you can see in the right hand side of the "Application builder" page.)
Any help is greatly appreciated. This issue is not a show stopper as I could still pull out my critical applications from the recent link, but its definitely a worrisome issue.
Thanks in advance

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

I'm not sure that Lion AutoSave feature apply to network servers.
I'm just sure that the Versions feature doesn't.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox is saving my open webpages after closing suddenly

I have been using Firefox for a while, and recently noticed this new feature that is causing problems. Firefox is saving my open webpages after closing suddenly, and then when restarted tries to open the same webpages. Huge problem: If it's a site with a virus it goes right back to that site. Huge problem for me- viruses must love this feature. I just want my regular homepages to open if Firebox closes suddenly. Help.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

I have lost saved logins and passwords and some saved cookie info after each Firefox update

I have lost various saved logins passwords and saved information in websites after Firefox updates

You may loose a few things, but you are doing great.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Firefox not saving passwords - Mac Pro

Hi.
I recently had to reinstall my bootdrive and software. Since then Firefox will not save my passwords. I am using a Mac Pro OS 10.6.8,
Firefox is 33.1.1. I thought it was firefox, so I tried Safari and Chrome - same problem. My preferences are set to "Remember passwords for sites". There are no exceptions listed. There are no saved passwords listed either. Under Privacy > History. "Remember history"
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
Brian

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history;Use custom settings for history -> Always use Private Browsing mode).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
It is possible that there is a problem with the key3.db file and the logins.json (signons.sqlite) file that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
You can rename the key3.db file (key3.db.old) and logins.json file (logins.json.old) and a possible signons.sqlite file (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.
Otherwise you can rename the files to their previous names (key3.db and logins.json).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Firefox not saving passwords, what maybe blocking this pls

I am using firefox 3.6.18 (because it is compatible with my A/V) and it no longer saves passwords. I suspect something may be blocking this; but have no idea.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_report_cookies_are_disabled (Other Solutions)
You Firefox doesn't offer to store password in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* 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
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.

How to get safari to remember login and password after I said do not remember

I went to a website through Safari and logged in and accidentally hit Never remember for this site and now I cannot get safari to remember the login and password. I have gone through preferences/passwords and the site is not listed and it will not allow me to add a site. I would love help with this since I log on to this site just about every day! Any suggestions?

It might be a corrupted keychain ...
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Open Keychain Access then select Passwords on the left.
Right or control click a keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari. Login to the website you want the password autofilled.
Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
Keep in mind, not all websites espcially financial institutions allow the autofill feature.

Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

NCS Prime prompting for login and password after re-imaging from dvd

Dear All,
I did a re-imaging on NCS prime after which I'm getting the below error
Please help me as to what could be the reason for this error...
Please type 'setup' to configure the appliance
localhost.localdomain login: Setup
Password:
Regards,
Waseq Mohammed

Re-imaging was not successful try this process:
Restoring the NCS Database
If you are restoring the NCS database in a high availability environment, see the "Restoring the NCS Database in a High Availability Environment" section. To restore the NCS database from a backup file. follow these steps:
Step 1 To view all local repository backups, use the below command:
show repository backup_repo
Note If possible, stop all NCS user interfaces to stabilize the database.
Step 2 Manually shutdown the platform as root.
Step 3 Using the CLI, perform one of the following:
•Restore the appliance and application backup by entering the following command:
restore testbackup-yymmdd-xxxx.tar.gpg repository backup_repo
•Restore only the application backup by entering the following command:
restore testbackup-yymmdd-xxxx.tar.gpg repository backup_repo application NCS
Step 4 Click Yes if a message appears indicating that NCS is running and needs to be shut down.
Note If the restore process shuts down NCS, a restart is attempted after a successful restore. The appliance will then restart and you will have to again login and restart the dbserver, and the platform manually as root (make sure you do not start with dbclean, else you will loose your recently restored data).
The CLI displays messages indicating that the NCS database is being restored.
