Firefox 4 on Mac: Filling forms/passwords/etc non-responsive

After upgrade to FF4 I experience a strange behavior in FF becomes not responsive when trying to fill out passwords, forms or other text-boxes. It does not depend on the site. Normally after restarting FF the problem is gone.
Please advice since this does not work well. I have reinstalled FF4 twice in order to be sure to have a good copy.

I too, am encountering this annoyance. A workaround is to press the 'Tab' key. You are able to type after doing so. Still, I think it should be fixed.
What add-ons do you use? I have a theory that it's a conflict with a previous add-on that hasn't been updated for FF4.
Cheers.

Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while

Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while. Doesn't happen with Outlook or Google?

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Firefox won't remember my password etc on forums/websites i use regularly

I use ultimate reef and reef sanctuary forums and each time I access these sites I have to re-enter my user name and password despite having ticked the remember me box. I have same issue using btinternet.com. I am relatively new to Firefox having moved from IE due to having similar probs with my btinterent account, but didn't have them with the others.
Regards Trevor

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes

In Windows Vista 7, SP2, Firefox takes several minutes to launch, is non-responsive, hangs sometimes launches additional windows without my clicking. I get error code 10003.

I'm using Firefox 6.0.2 in Wndows Vista 7, SP2. I'm using Norman Security Suite anti-virus software. Firefox behaves erratically. Sometimes it takes several minutes to launch. If I launch an new window it sometimes hangs. It launches two extra windows without my having clicked to launch. Always two. I get an error code 10003 but when I search for this I get no information about it.
Windows Task Manager shows plugin-container for Firefox running in addition to firefox.exe.

FireFox 29.0.1 is sluggest to non-responsive

I am running Windows XP plus the two service Packs and have the RAM maxed out. The hard disk has at least 60% space available.
I have several malware bug programs who have reported my system is clean. The hard disk has been defragged. When this version of FF was installed, it accepted all plugins except Forecastfox 2.2.2.
Firefox is slow to respond to a click on a web site using 10 or more seconds to even show in the tab that it is "Connecting." When "Connecting" in a tab appears it then takes much more that 10 seconds before the web page is displayed. When writing this report as well as other writing on some other web page, there is a pause when the space bar is pressed. Trying to go back a page has the same slowness of many seconds.
I'm tired of this. If it is not being fixed, can I roll back to the previous version of FF that worked so well?

Is this with some web pages, many all? 
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. 
Clear the Cache 
'''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''
 and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy.''''' 
Under '''History''', select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings'''. 
There is a button on the right side called '''Show Cookies'''. 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

I want to go back to my old Firefox 3.6.6 In Firefox 4.0 I can't access some of my toolbars, especially Norton Internet Security that has my Vault that stores my passwords, etc.

When I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 my Norton tool bar was no longer compatible and was not added on as before. This tool bar contains among other things my "Identity Safe" which has my passwords to many of my accounts and automatically puts on my username and passwords to let me access my many accounts, etc. It also lets me choose which credit card I can use to auto-fill forms, etc....

Suggest you give Norton a kick up the ---- for not having an upgrade ready.
You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here:

Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

Hi, Is it possible to enable Adobe ReadersX users to save filled forms without enabling them to have access to the additional features as highlighting etc?

You can do that with individual pdf files using Adobe Acrobat to set the security.
In Acrobat go to File>Properties>Security. Choose password security as the security method then choose "restrict editing and printing of the document..." and under "Changes allowed" choose "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields".

How can I force Firefox to remember a password etc having told it "no thanks" at the beginning

The site in question does not, as far as I know, stop passwords etc from being remembered. When I first started with the site I believe I declined the option to have my password remembered. I would like to reverse that decision. Is there a way of doing this. I have been through all the other options mentioned in Firefox help.

If you've clicked "Never" the Firefox has created a block exception that you need to remove.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[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: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

If you want to use the email address that you used on the first account then you will need to remove it from that first account before you can do so e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's or via http://appleid.apple.com - you can create a new email address via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com to replace it with.

Importing form data (passwords, etc.) into Safari

Is there any way of importing the information in Firefox's (or Seamonkey's) password manager into the autofill function of Safari 4.0.3? I have found a lot of stuff in these pages on removing passwords from Safari, and about importing bookmarks into Safari, but not on importing passwrds, etc., into Safari. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Greetings,
Sorry, but there's no way to do that. You'd have to enter it manually.

How do I stop Firefox entering my username and password into other fields on pages that are not the log-in page?

On a website I need for my work, I must log-in with username & password. Firefox remembers my name & password perfectly. However, in another section on that same website, when I am filling in calendar information, it enters my my username in the "Location" field. Unfortunately, that is my work ID which is confidential. When I don't notice, it posts it on the very public calendar. Also, it enters my password into a password field (masked), so that no one can rsvp.
It doesn't appear that I can edit the Saved Passwords/Exception in Firefox Options, so I am looking for suggestions!
I want the saved name password at http://workname.com
but not incorrectly at http://workname.com/info/*.*

If there is a password field on a web page and you have saved a password then Firefox may try to fill that password and enter the name in the field just above that password field.
You can look at:
* Saved Password Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/60265
*Form History Control: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/12021
You may want to disable saved form fill to prevent Firefox from filling the name.

Cannot login with password containing non-ascii characters

Hello,
I have web application, form based login. UTF-8 is specified "everywhere".
And it works, except for passwords.
If user register itself with password containing non-ascii characters, it is correctly written in database, but when doing either programmatic login or normal form based login, if fails.
If the password is only ascii, it works.
Username of login could be ascii or non-ascii, it doesn't matter, both works.
I'm using sun java application server 9.1.
jdbc realm.
I'm not using hashing passwords, just clean (now)
I tried configure realm Charset: UTF8 as last chance, but it doesn't work either.
The problem is only with non-ascii characters in password.
Any help very appreciated
Thanks a lot

hi,
I know all that, but that's not the case. My app uses preparedStatements, everything is properly configured, in all pages, utf-8 is going from user to db and back without any problems.
The only problem is with password field. As I am using form based login, with jdbc realm configured (again, nicely working when only ascii characters), I have very little chance to do something bad through the login phase.
I'm not talking about special characters, I'm talking about non-ascii characters, let's say - Chinese, arabish, Russian alphabet etc.
When user registers (my code), the fields are properly written to db. I have checked that, trust me.
But the Sun app server realm seems to have some problems with the password field.
(realm uses jdbc connection to mysql, the url contains all extra parameters to be sure about utf8. there is nothing more what can be configured...)
If I try other alphabet codes in login and ascii in password, it works. But soon, as I use other alphabet code also in password, it doesn't work anymore.
My only idea is, that I could try MD5 to create ascii only characters (I hope it works that way) on the client with javascript and then set Digest to MD5 in realm configuration. But still, it seems very strange. The clear way storage should also function? (now set Digest to 'none')
Is it a bug of Sun App Server?
thanks

Have changed my e-mail account password but Firefox insists on using old password. Hence, I cannot access my Comcast e-mail account. I get a "403 server error."

Running Firefox 6.0 on Intel Mac (vers 10.7.1).

*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
*Highlight an entry in the drop down list
*Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
Firefox will remember new form data when entered.
