Firefox 8, will not save username on some sites, is there a settings file I can add it to manually?

For most sites, FF8 saves my login info. For some sites it will not even save my username. One site in particular, it used to be saved (I think I added it to a settings file somewhere in a previous version), but I deleted that login username, and now I can't get it to save my new username.
Is there a file somewhere that can be edited so that the username does show up?
Thanks,

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.

Help! After upgrading to Firefox 8, will not save my tabs from previous session, or any Tools - Options! I have read everything I can find about it in Help.

It opens the same 3 stupid windows every time: the Firefox Google page, the upgraded Welcome page, and Amazon wish list upgrade page. This while my home page is set to msn.com or blank! I tried every method mentioned in Help that I could find, including the corrupt dll file and deleting Firefox and reinstalling it. Still, same problem. I have checked and rechecked all my browsing, history and cookie settings, etc. but cannot find any solution. I am not in private browsing, and I accept all cookies. It also does not save my Tools-Options-Tabs-When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately. This is really disappointing. Can someone please help??

Under Options->General->Startup->When Firefox starts->Change this from "Show my home page" to "show my windows and tabs from last time". It works for me, hope this will help you as well.

Firefox 7 will not save any passwords

Since installing firefox 7 it will no longer prompt me to save passwords on any sites. All settings in Security are correct. I still have 3.6 installed in another folder.

PASSWORDS NOT Being Saved:
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)
Also in '''Tools > Options > Security''', make sure you have check-marked "Remember passwords for sites", anythings listed in Exceptions will not be saved.

Firefox nightly will NOT save cookies. I want ALL cookies saved!

have win8 and had to reinstall the os and all aps, including nightly. going to facebook game "glory of Rome", for some reason, NO cookies are saved. This is terrible! I have read many articles in support about (stupid, I hate the very idea of privacy) privacy settings, to ne avail.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Content Viewer will not download the folio preview. Is there a maximum file size?

I am unable to download a 378 MB folio into the Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad.
I can preview the same folio using the Content Viewer on my laptop, and it works fine in the Content Viewer on the iPad as well when I transfer the file from laptop to iPad using the USB cable. However, when I click on the download cloud icon, there is a "Waiting..." text beneath it, but the file won't download. There is no other error message, even after ten minutes of wait time.
I am using the most recent version of the Content Viewer, and have tried deleting and replacing it several times, as well as restarting the iPad. I have closed all other apps on the iPad to free up memory. The iPad is running 8.1.2 and have more than 4 GB of storage.
I using the most current version of InDesign CC. The folio version number is 32.
My download speed here is about 34 Mbps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you have the latest 32.4 version of the Adobe Content Viewer?
It feels similar to an issue we had prior to the 32.1 version (see fix notes at Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes)
Otherwise you may want to call support so we can run a few tests with the folio itself.

CP will not save after Importing slides

CP 2 is a flakey one, often requiring 10 times the amount of
work to do the simplest of things. My project is two steps away
from CP app-so it shouldn't be getting lost. But, after importing
only 2 slides into my project it will not save. It just sits and
spins until I have to crash it using Task Manager. The project is
not corrupted-it just won't import slides.
For $600 Adobe should be prepared to release something a
little more stable than this. For all the problems of Camtasia
plug-ins, I'm thinking it's still a less aggravating alternative to
CP.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You have to download the proper ipsw file again: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/
And install it on your iPhone, using iTunes.

Firefox will not save Site Certificate Exceptions even when checked to do so.

I have a publicly free Wifi Access point near by that I use daily. When logging on to this site I get a Warning about the Sites Certificate and do I want to proceed, I choose YES and then are asked if I want to make this exception permanent and I put a check mark in the box for yes and press accept. This is suppose to permanently accept this websites certificate in the future. It does not.. It will not save the exception from one session to the next.
IN SHORT: Firefox failure to permanently store website Certificate exceptions.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

Firefox will not save my passwords

Firefox will not save my usernames and passwords. When I enter a password on a site FF will ask me if it wants to remember it. I always click "Remember Password". When I go to options>security>saved passwords it's always a blank field and I have no sites listed under exceptions.

I'm having a problem where Windows Live login won't remember both of my ID's. In FF 3.6, I used to be able to click in the empty username field and select which ID I wanted to use but since upgrading to FF 4.0, I can no longer do this.
I don't want it to remember passwords, just usernames....help pls.

Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

Firefox will not save my Connections settings, so opens on manual proxy every time, rather than No Proxy?

I'm using Firefox 4.01 and it will not save my connections settings when I set them to "No Proxy" keeps defaulting to manual therefore it wont load any pages until I change it to "No Proxy" which I have to do every time I open firefox.

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

Firefox v3.6.8 will NOT remember passwords. I've doubled check the settings but it will not remember the passwords

New HP laptop, O/S XP-Pro, my previous computer with XP-Pro had no problem remembering passwords but this v of Firefox will not remember the PW's

Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.
For instance, my bank has four fields on the sign-in page - username, security code, password, and an odd one with a number between 1 and 4 in it. Firefox only saves the username and password and so can't fill in the other fields. Actually it refuses to fill in any of the fields. It seems to not recognise the page at all.
The only way I can see around the problem at the moment is to save any that Firefox will save and use RoboForm to save the others. It means having two programs to do one job. It's messy but at least it works and I can save all my usernames and passwords and have them fill in properly.
I don't know why it is that RoboForm will save the data but Firefox won't. It appears to be something to do with Firefox only saving two fields whereas RoboForm will save any number as required.

Safari 5 will not Save a pdf

Apparently since the OS 10.7.4 upgrade, Safari will not save a pdf from a google search page. Error message is "cannot export (file name)". Any Mac users know what is going on here? Firefox works fine. I've ;ooked in Safari and Finder prefs but can't find anything that would relate to this. Trying to download some Camera RAW tutorials. Bookmarked them in Safari, and later d/l in Firefox which sends them to Finder> Downloads by default.

For anyone else who runs into this problem, go to your hard drive's Library/Internet Plugins and trash the two AdobeReader plugins that have PDF in their name, then restart Safari. Many others have had this, starting with some Adobe update. It si probably not copnnected to 10.7.4, since one complainer was using Snow Leopard.

User preferences will not save on windows xp. clean install will not work.

User options will not save. I have followed all the instructions to do a clean install which included removing the old firefox files and user profiles. I am using Windows xp SP3. The only thing I have not edited is the registry information for firefox. I can not get the options to save correctly. Please help.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
