Firefox is losing Zoom settings for sites. Clearing history isn't being used

Firefox is losing Zoom settings for sites.
In Clearing history .. I am not clearing site perferences

Hello,
Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
You can adjust your screen resolution.
To modify it do the following:
* Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
* If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
* Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
[[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
* Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Firefox is not remembering passwords for sites that i visit regularly. Ihave checked the box "remember passwords for sites" in the security tab under tools, but the passwords are not being remembered when I return to the sites.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

I cannot access the internet, I tried to answer that said to go to settings, safari, tap clear history, cookies and cache, cut off, then on, but it did not work. When I go to internet the screen is grey??? please help I am a new user!!

I cannot access the internet the screen is grey, I have tried by using the answer from someone but it does not work...I went to settings, tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache, then turn off ipad. When I did that twice, it did not work. How long does it take for the clear history to work? I am a brand new
user of the ipad2 and I am disappointed that this is happening already.

Have you been able to access the internet previously and now it's suddenly not working, or are you still trying to access the internet for the first time on your iPad? Are you at home trying to connect through your home router? If you are at home, did you put your home routers encryption code as your password? The encryption code is what your iPad is looking for and it is usually found on the router and is typically a 13 digit combination of letters and numbers. Let us know......

Bought a Mac Mini. at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function. Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it. Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used. First and last Mac for me. But can I get something for the junk?

I have pulled it out of the box and put 2 Mac approved mem sticks in it to boost it to 8 Gigs mem and it still locks up and freazes.. So many people told me Mac was the way to go... 1500 dollers could have bought me a great pc laptop. Now I have a wirless mouse keyboard and a mac mini (aka Brick) that allowed me to donate money to a cause that is helping buildings and companies out side of the US. While I have junk.. It's still under warranty and I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks. Again.. locks up and does nothing. What can I do with this? Toss it in the trash? Any info on what I might do with it.. Please help!

It would be most helpful if you updated your system information:
Please reconcile the following
at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function. Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it. Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.
... I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.
If your Mini is anything less than six months old it would be running Lion, not 10.6.1, nor would it have been necessary to "reinstall the OS". Any help that anyone can provide is predicated on your system configuration so it's important.
If you are running Lion then boot your Mini while holding the D key. This will load Apple Hardware Test which will enable you to test your memory. "Mac approved" memory is sort of vague, and even memory that is allegedly designed to meet your Mini's specification may fail. There few reputable memory vendors.
"Apple installed" memory is more meaningful, and indicates Apple has tested it and guarantees its function. Otherwise all bets are off with a claim of "Mac approved". You will have to verify that yourself with Apple Hardware Test.
If your Mini was running, or ever ran OS 10.6.1 for that matter, it is close to three years old.
You must clear up these uncertainties before anyone can help.

Firefox 34 never remembers passwords for sites, have to log-in to everything after each time I close browser

Was using Opera for a while, but really seems to be crashing alot lately so back to Firefox again for the 1st time in years (using whatever latest version is)
Seems no matter what options I check or uncheck in the settings, every single time I close Firefox it logs me out of all sites (FB, YT, email, Soundcloud, etc.) Been extremely annoying......I even took the time to try typing every site I wanted in the exceptions list for cookies, which did nothing at all....For the hell of it I tried the always remember history option with everything possible checked & still nothing...
Would appreciate any help, been driving me insane & sick of wasting my time re-entering passwords all day long
Thanks

There are many ways that cookies might get cleared, including some Firefox features, Firefox add-ons, and some external privacy/utility software that sweeps up between sessions.
Within Firefox, you would want to double-check:
(1) Not using automatic private browsing
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
This dialog should show either: "Firefox will: Remember history" or "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history". If it shows "Firefox will: Never remember history" then change to custom and uncheck the box for automatic private browsing.
(2) Allowing persistent cookies
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
With the dialog set to "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history", check that the cookie setting is:
"Keep until: they expire"
If this is set to "Keep until: I close Firefox" then you would need to create exceptions for sites you want to be able to set persistent cookies (and then clear existing cookies so they get set again with the correct expiration dates).
(3) Not clearing cookies at shutdown
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
With the dialog set to "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history", check that either:
* "Clear history when Firefox closes" is not checked, or
* When you click the "Settings" button next to "Clear history when Firefox closes", the checkbox for Cookies is not checked
(4) Not using extensions that clear cookies
You can review your extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
Does all of that check out?

Firefox keeps losing toolbar settings

I have a big issue since upgrading to Firefox 4.
It keeps losing my icons and custom toolbars!
It happens completely at random.
To get them back I have to restart in safe mode, tick the box "Reset
toolbars and controls" and reopen.
Sometimes when I right click "Customise" is greyed out.
Any ideas - it is getting to the point where I will dump firefox!

hi gurumukhi,
Thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstand the problem. I'm not asking how to set sync up again, I'm asking why Firefox keeps losing the sync settings in the first place. It often gets lost on all 3 of my computers so even your suggested solution doesn't always work and the only way out is to delete the account on Mozilla's website and set it up on all the computers from scratch.
I thought about this a bit more and it seems the one constant in causing FF to lose the sync information is that it happens soon after a FF version upgrade. This is recent as of about v22 or so - used to work perfectly before then.
If anyone knows of a solution that would be great.
Thanks

How can I stop Firefox from crashing when I try to clear history?

For the last few days I haven't been able to clear history for the day.
I tell firefox to Clear for Today. I tell it to clear now but after a while nothing is happening. When I check with the task manager my Firefox windows have stopping responding. When I try to close any of the windows I get a crash report.

troubleshoot (move) the places.sqlite file... (in the process, this will delete history)

Firefox is running so slow even after clearing history, cookies, and cache

My firefox browser suddenly started running very slow. I have cleared history, cookies, and cache. I have run scans, and even tried to uninstall and reinstall. it is still running slow

flytnn,
after a fresh install, Spotlight will need to reïndex the files on your internal disk — that happens each time a fresh installation takes place.
I see that you have OS X 10.9.2 installed. Are you planning on installing the 10.9.3 update?
Your installed version of Java is outdated — the most recent version can be downloaded from here.

Firefox Sync synchronizes DPI settings for Gmail

I set up Firefox Sync on a computer with a large monitor (a TV actuall) and I had to increase the DPI in the Gnome monitor settings in order for text to be readable on the large monitor. Now, using Firefox Sync on a laptop with a much smaller monitor, it appears the DPI settings have been synced for Gmail. Gmail somehow stores this information and Firefox has synced it. Is there a way to avoid this? Perhaps I should ask Google instead?

How Can I Change Default Zoom Settings For Safari?

I just got my new iMac and hate the fact that everytime I open Safari everything is small and centered directly in the Safari screen. How can I change the default settings so it either zooms in more or is in a landscaped mode so I don't have two big white patches on the sides of my window?

The only way I know of, (and that I use) is as follows:
Open textedit and create a new document.
Add the following 3 lines to the file
body {
zoom: 175%
Save the file as "somename.css". I called mine defaultzoom.css and saved it in Documents.
In Safari go to Preferences | Advanced.
In the Style sheet: dropdown box choose "other" and browse to the location of your somename.css file.
That's it, now webpages will open with the default zoom level you used in the file (I use 175% but you need to tweak it for your screen size). Also, I do run into situations where some pages don't render correctly. If that happens you can go back to Safari | Preferences | Advanced and change the Style sheet dropdown box to none until you are done viewing that paticular website. Then just put it back when you are done.
