Firefox does not remembe the login name for the user login name on secure sites.

My user got a new computer and I installed the latest version of firefox. It no longer remembers user names on secure sites and the employee does not like the fact that she has to type in her user name every time she needs to log into the site. The browser is set to automatically save user names and passwords.

Please first update your plugins, Flash has a new version.
Does this happen in Safe Mode?
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
First troubleshooting steps are:
*[[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms]]
It is also possible to check the saved passwords to make sure that the information is saved. On an https site that does not autofill the information for logging in , the username is blank. I removed the entry by right cicking on the page, selecting "Page Info" and under "Security" viewing the saved passwords.

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Firefox does not remember our usernames for hotmail anymore

    Since our update to Firefox 4.0, Firefox does not remember our usernames for Hotmail anymore. Only the last used username is remembered.
    We don't have problems with other websites regarding this.
    So why is it only with Hotmail?
    I cleared all cookies, but no change....
    Can you help us out?

    You can't save the name and password from Hotmail via the Password Manager in current Firefox versions. Hotmail (live.com) uses JavaScript to create the login form.<br />
    You should be able to use save form data to save user names and other form data like I posted above.
    Don't you get a drop down list that shows previously entered names?
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • Firefox does not remember my history or bookmarks or anything after i go to a new page or website

    When I go to a new page (for example from Google.com to Youtube.com or with any other website), Firefox does not remember the history or bookmarks or any other information that I just used. I cannot go back to the page i was at before because it won't remember my history. I tried all the steps that it told me to do when i clicked on more info in the red bar that said "Firefox will not remember your history or bookmarks because it is in use by another application" but it sill didn't work.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs

    Using an old school PPC Mac, OSX 10.4.11.  Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs. It only remembers the last page visited for searchable pdfs, but not for scanned.  I have the box checked in "Preferences: Restore last view settings..."  I cannot upgrade Reader on this system, or my OS, so I'm stuck using what I have for now. I have to read huge documents for my work, that will include hand written notes in the margin and other marks on the page. The documents are hundreds of pages long, so it's a bit frustrating that it can't remember the page number for this type.
    Are there any fixes for this? Something else I can try?

    I tried to find the download for 9.5.5, but my OS is not in the list. I'm on a non-intel PPC mac. I tried finding that version on the web, but most of the links lead me back to Adobe, where it doesn't seem to want to be found. It obviously exists somewhere, but Adobe isn't making it easy to access!

  • Firefox does not remember history-why?

    Hi guys! My firefox does not remember any history at all. Of course the privacy settings say: " remember history". Everything else (bookmarks and such work fine. I have done a "reset firefox" twice; no change. There is an article from someone with similar problems, but vital chunks of info are missing, so I can not reproduce what exactly the problem was and how it was solved. Any suggestions anyone?? Cheers Stefan
    ( should add: windows 7, latest firefox version...)

    History can be removed or not recorded several ways;
    * 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
    * 2) Privacy settings (Type '''about:preferences#privacy'''<Enter><BR> in the address bar.)
    * 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
    * 4) Mal-ware.

  • Firefox does not allow page re-directing for paypal payment

    firefox does not allow page re-directing for paypal payment. How do I fix this problem. It occurs with several sites where it was not a previous problem. When I press "allow", I get returned to the very beginning of the order process.

    I really appreciate your (spookily timely) help. Yes, I did try safe mode once.
    The problem with testing this problem is that I have to have something in the cart to buy, and if it works I've bought it.
    I was hoping to find that someone else had already done the logic and experimenting part, and the solution was just 'out there'. I did get one response (from Daz3d) that said Firefox had been having a problem with PayPal on their site, but no details.
    And as soon as I buy what I need using a credit card, as far as they're concerned the problem is done.

  • Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new  Canon Sureshot S95

    Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Adobe, please can you provide an update asap

    Hello!
    I think that you need to be patient.
    There has not been any release of Camera Raw since the release of the camera.
    I recommend to try the next version once it will be released, as there might be preliminary support (and therefore not listed).
    Usually, Adobe is amongs the firsts to support a new camera.
    Even though the Camera Raw team is fielded with wonderful coders, I do not think that they do have a time machine to allow support before they have their hands on a camera

  • I have stored the password for a site I use often, but Firefox does not remember. Have to type in each time.

    User name and password are stored correctly in preferences, but the fields remain blank whenever I try to login to a site I use often. No prompt "Do you want firefox to remember..." Do get a popup "do you want to update password?" but it makes no difference whether I check yes or not.
    No such problem with several other sites whose passwords are stored.

    You must have the "Remember passwords" feature enabled for the browser to remember them. In Firefox 2.0 and above, make sure Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> "Remember passwords for sites" is checked.
    Additionally, you may have once told the browser to never save the passwords for the site. In Firefox 2.0 and above, check the list under Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> Exceptions. Also make sure you are not private browsing while saving password.
    Cheers

  • I have tried all the remedies for Firefox when it comes to remembering my user ID and passwords but it still does not remember them. I have the windows 7 starter system in my mini laptop. Is there a number that I can call to discuss with someone at Fire

  • After reopening Firefox does not remember which desktop was used for each window. Can you help, please.

    I'm using two displays and several desktops on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
    When I need to restart Firefox, it remembers to open windows from last session in correct display, but does not remember which desktop was used for each window. So when the application starts, it opens all windows on a desktop which is currently active instead of reopening them on desktops used during the last session. How to fix the issue?

    Hi Nerva,
    Thank you for your question, there is a add on I have been recommended to custom set up of opening windows in new monitors. It's called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master].
    However, in regards to the session remembering which monitor the window was open in, in the profile folder there is a file that stores window positions and dimensions. It is called localstore.rdf.
    Please stay tuned for more investigation, as there are definitely bugs on file for similar issues. Pinpointing it is the hard part.

  • Firefox 24.0 does not update any YouTube page for the download extensions. Video aivalable for download is the 1th opened in the tab and not the video playing.

    On YouTube, when more than one video have been played, staying on the same page, videos aivalable for download, by any Firefox Download Extension as Downloader Helper, Flash Video Downloader or 1 Click Video Download, are the format options for the first video opened in the tab, and not format options for the video actually playing.
    I have tried resetting Firefox ( Firefox menu : ? \ Troubleshooting Information \ Reset Firefox), and reinstall Videos Downloaders (without Adblock Plus that I normally use), it did not solve the problem.
    Temporary Solution :
    Refreshing the http://www.youtube.com/... page ( by hitting the round arrow at the right of the adress bar ) allows me to update the download features but it is annoying as it restarts the playback every time I decide to download a video ( so is it having to remember to refresh the page ).
    I am surprised it seems no one have experience and solved this problem yet.

  • When I click on a link Firefox does not allow me to go to the link

    When I click on a link Firefox does not go the link.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Along time ago.

    I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
    In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
    How to to this?
    Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
    search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
    The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
    Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
    (for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
    You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
    If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
    Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.
    Greetz,
    Kenny
