Firefox 4 no longer saves my passwords on initial log-in to a website. Works in IE so it is not the website. Also worked in previous version of FF

For one website, the password is saved yet does not auto fill when I go to that website. Problem only started with FF 4. On Barnes and Noble website, after I updated to FF 4 the saved password was lost, yet did not request "do you want to remember this password" when I log on for the first time . Again in previous FF site password was saved and also auto filled when I went to that website. Neither issue happens with latest version of IE

For me, Firefox stopped even asking to save passwords. (Yes, the box to remember passwords is still checked.)
One of my passwords changed, and Firefox refused to accept the change, so I deleted that password from my list of saved passwords, expecting that it would ask to save it again. After that, it stopped asking to save passwords for ANY sites. (There are no sites in my exceptions list.)
I posted on the help website (getsatisfaction), but apparently that site's dead. It's been days without a reply.

    scrolling overflow on tbody is no longer supported because that is not allowed in CSS 2.1 specification.

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • FIREFOX NO LONGER KEEPS MY PASSWORDS EVEN WHEN I SET IT TO DO SO. HEEEEEEELP!

    1)Firefoz used to ask me if I wanted computer to remember passwords for emails etc...now it no longer asks if I enter new site with new passwords
    2) firefox also no longer remembers my passwords - I must type in each time to each site.
    3) I did try to reset it by going into "options" on tools; i marked remember cookis, still when I close firefox it cancels the lot. I did follow all instructions given on the various help pop-up-pages.
    SO WHAT HAS CHANGED?? I did not click on anything new or did anything different to what I normally did.
    SO: plese help to reset:
    - firefox asking again if i want to remember it new passwords;
    - make sure all my regularly used sites remember all paswords.
    many thanks,

    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Firefox no longer places my password in the site. Do I need to reset something?

    When I need to set a password for a site I've never visited before, Firefox asks if it should retain it for me. When I try to log on to a site I've been using for ages, it doesn't fill in the password for me. Has there been a change in version 18 or is it possibly something in the site I'm visiting? Most of these sites retain an automatic sign-in feature but they never retain the password so my user name shows up in the proper field, just not the password to get in.

  • Ever since updating to version 10, Firefox no longer inserts saved passwords. How can I fix this?

    Password Manager remembers my passwords, but won't insert them at log in time. This began after updating to version 10. It will ask to save new passwords, but won't insert the old ones.

    Did you try Safe mode to see if an extension is causing the problems?
    You can also try to reset all preferences on the Safe mode start window or try to new profile.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:

  • Certain website will load on other browsers but not the new Firefox

    I run a website for one of our school programs. It has always loaded fine in Firefox and IE, but once I (and others) updated Firefox to Firefox 45, now the center screen of the website remains blank. I noticed this problem also occurs in Google Chrome, but not IE or the previous version of Firefox. The website is www.dsjband.com and I would appreciate any help on this matter!

    What is this code supposed to do ?
    You open a comment, b but do not close it.

  • Sometimes Firefox can access a website, then other times it says cannot connect to server, but it must be able to connect otherwise I wouldn't be able to go on at all! It's not the website, because loads of other people use it too. Help?!

    Sometimes Firefox lets me get onto websites, then othertimes it says it cannot connect to the server, even though it must be able to because it wouldn't let me go on at all. It's becoming really annoying and I really need to use the websites.

    Hi There Linc Davis,
    Wow, you are the best.
    Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
    Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
    Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
    Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
    Please Linc Davis

  • How do I enable auto-complete for gmail password? I have five accounts and it works for 3 of them but not the other 2.

    I have five gmail accounts. Three of them have the auto-complete feature enabled for the password. The two most recent accounts do not auto-fill so I must type in my password every time. The auto-fill works fine on my laptop but not on my desk-top. My operating system is Windows XP.

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 successfully, but it did not incorporate all my info from previous version (history, bookmarks, tabs, etc.). How do I combine the two?

    Current download of Firefox 4 successful, but it did not include info from the previous version such as bookmarks, history, tabs and the like.

    I am currently using version 3.6.3 because it has all the information that I need to use the internet. version 4.0 did NOT incorporate all history and so forth (including tabs, bookmarks) when I downloaded it, as previous downloads had. I will continue to use the older version until someone can help me figure out how to merge the information from the older version with the newer one. The posted answer was greek to me and did not help.

  • Regarding Google Advanced Search, Firefox no longer saves my settings, such as 'number of results,' which I like to set to 100. The Google default is 10 and Firefox no longer saves my setting of 100.

    In Google Advanced Search, when I click on Search Settings, I go to the drop down box labelled 'Number of Results' and select 100, then click Save Preferences. Until recently Firefox saved my changed settings, but it no longer does so.

    This is caused by the new Google instant search feature. If you disable instant search and use the old style search Google should remember the preferences. The option to turn off instant search is to the right of the search box.

  • Firefox no longer requesting Master Password

    Firefox is no longer requesting my Master Password on sites it previously asked it for. I haven't cleared cache/cookies etc. or changed any preferences or settings. I've quit Firefox and reloaded, then rebooted, to no avail. Any suggestions welcome.

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.13, Firefox no longer saves and restores windows when I quit.

    I am running OS 10.5.8 on MacBook Firefox 3.6.13. Periodically I have a problem with Verizon e-mail in that it wont accept an address when composing. This is fixed by quitting Firefox. (This problem predates 3.6.13.) It is a nuisance to lose all windows when I quit Firefox, but that is the only way I have found to fix the e-mail problem.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 does not remember/fill in username and password in Mac version although on Windows it works, so it's not the website preventing password being saved. what is up and how can this be fixed ?

    There are several sites where I now have to type in my username and password each time I return, such as turnitin.com. (I'm a teacher and use this for grading). Friefox used to be able to remember this for that site and it still works at my office where I have a windows machine. Not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and it is really annoying to have to retype every single time; it's not a financial site or anything so why can't the Firefox browser remember and re enter my info?
    And no, turnitin does not currently support Firefox 7 but it is only up to firefox 4 and up until now firefox at least worked to remember passwords.
    I looked at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered and I have checked all the recommended browser settings and am not set to private browsing; the sites where this happens are not set in exceptions to remembering, and they are not set to be cleared automatically
    So, what's up and why doesn't Firefox remember passwords and usernames any longer?

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.
