Firefox 5.0 won't save passwords

After checking the "save password" box, Firefox 5 doesn't ask to save passwords.

Something enabled "Clear history when Firefox closes" in my Options settings (I didn't unless some odd key sequence can do it). If there is a plugin, malicious site, Norton SS (a prime suspect which also re-enabled its horrid toolbar), or a script then you guys might want to check into it and fix the issue. I lost dozens of username/passwords.

  • Firefox is not prompting to save password for specific user on specific site. How can I correct this?

    I am using saved passwords feature. The site in question is a common webmail site. I have more than one account for this site. Usernames and passwords for each account were stored in Firefox 'Remember Passwords' feature. I unintentionally deleted one entry from the dropdown list that is displayed when I go to the site's login page. Now, when I log in to this account, Firefox will not prompt to save the password. If I display my saved passwords list, there are entries for the other accounts on this site, but none for the user account in question. The Saved Passwords 'Exceptions' list is empty. How can I get Firefox to re-prompt to save the password for this user on this site? (Note: When I speak of 'user', I am not referring to user account on the PC or a specific Firefox user profile.)

    I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks

  • Does firefox mobile app sync and save passwords?

    I am just wondering if firefox home saves online passwords and uses a master password. if yes how do I access? If no is there a mobile password app that plays well with firefox home?

    Sorry, Firefox Home for iOS does not sync or save passwords. If you want to sync passwords from Firefox to your iPhone/iOS device, you'll need to use a third-party program like LastPass: https://lastpass.com/

  • Safari won't save passwords

    Hello,
    I noticed recently that Safari is not asking anymore to save passwords. It still uses the one I have in Keychain but doesn't see, to care about new one. In Safari  preferences under auto-fill, everything is checked. I tried to trash the preference file, verivy keychain but nothing work.
    I use a Macbook pro with 10.7.4 and Safari 6.0
    Thanks for your help
    Serge

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • N95 8GB browser won't save passwords

    Hey all. After upgrading my N95 8GB NAM (N95-4) the browser no longer saves passwords. I've double-checked the setting multiple times -- even noticed that when I switch it off it asks me if I want to delete the saved passwords -- but after turning it on, it has YET to prompt me to save a password, or auto-fill a login/pass, on any page. Especially those it did just fine before the firmware upgrade.
    Any ideas?
    Now running -- v20.2.005 30-04-08 RM-421 N95 8GB(A6.02)

    Let me be clear: This is the result of JUST the firmware upgrade. After the upgrade I did not use any Content Copier backup to restore data, I did manual re-entry of all settings on the device with the exception of using the Settings Wizard to put the US AT&T access points information on the device, and using Mac iSync to put contacts and calendar data back onto the device. Everything in the Web app was manually set, including the option to save "Form & Password" data ... which is what is NOT being saved anymore.

  • [SOLVED] Remmina won't save passwords ...

    Greetings,
       In order Distros, I used to be able to put the password of my RDP configurations in Remmina, and it would keep it when saving it.
       This one doesn't.  I installed Remmina that way ...
    $ su
    $ pacman -S remmina freedrp
    I wasn't sure if it was a security issue, so I did ...
    $ cd ~/.remmina
    $ chmod 750 *
    But still the same things.
    Any suggestions?

    ... I forgot to say that I am using LXDE.  I have zero issues if I use Gnome, but I don't want to use Gnome just to have Remmina save passwords. 
    I am willing to take any suggestions, even the ones that may sound silly.  Anything is better than nothing. 
    Thx ...

  • Firefox won't save passwords; reminder option does not come up... on two different PCs in two different homes.

    Both PCs: XP PRO SP3; Seagate Barracuda HDs, routine environment for both, no games, Microsoft Office, Quicken, stuff like that. One is an ABIT 2.2 GHz clone; other is Compaq EVO 1.7GHz DT.... boring, boring, boring but both 3.50+ FF installations do same thing - Won't offer to save logons and PWs. Have done ALL, repeat ALL the usual TOOLS|OPTIONS stuff. Nothing, NADA, ZIP. Please help - suspect registry? - ABSOLUTELY!

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * 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"

  • SAVING ISSUES!!! Firefox won't save passwords, won't ask to save them. I've used this for 2 years +. I know where the settings are. New comp, Windows 7, Ffx 4. Prompted to save the password 5 times and stopped

    The settings are all correct. New machine. Only has the operating system and Firefox. No conflicting programs. It did 5 then stopped. Nothing has been added or changed since downloading FF.

    Same issue here. I am '''NOT '''running in Private Browsing mode.
    This may be an issue related to other add-ons, or not. I tried the remember-password bookmarklet with one site and it Worked! But when I looked in the saved passwords, the new userid and password were not there. I waited a few minutes and looked again, and mysteriously, it was there. Perhaps a caching issue. Exceptions box is empty.
    I think this in an important issue that must be tracked and not assumed is always an operator-error.

  • FF 3.6.13 won't save password or dismiss the save password prompt.

    I enter a userid and password when logging in to a new web site account. I get the "do you want Firefox to remember the password for..." with the three options.

  • How can I get firefox to ask me to save passwords for websites and to turn back on my auto complete for webpages?

    Ever since the last update of firefox my autocomplete no longer functions and firefox no longer asks me if I want to save the password for sites I visit.
