Firefox is saving passwords, but not saving them to my Keychain (Mac). Why?
My web passwords are usually saved both in Firefox and the Mac Keychain Manager. Recently I've noticed that there are many passwords saved in Firefox but not in Keychain Manager. Why is this, and does the problem lie in Firefox or Keychain Manager.

Firefox saves my password but not my user name
I am a web developer and the website that I have built requires the user to log in to access it. Once the user logs in, they are prompted to have firefox remember their credentials like normal. If they say yes, it creates a record in the saved passwords section (tools>options>security>saved passwords) but the username field is blank. If you click show passwords the password is saved along with the URL...just no user name.
This site is using SSL if that matters. Any ideas?Do you have a live test case that we can use?
If not, report that to the Mozilla developers thru Bugzilla.

Safari has deleted all my saved passwords, and not saving any I ask!
Pretty self explanatory...
But just today, Safari seems to have completely wiped all my saved passwords, and I had a lot saved. The pop up box saying 'Do you want to save this password?' is still coming up when I log into an account somewhere, and even if I select yes, it doesn't save.
This is rather annoying, considering I'm setting up a forum, and have to be constantly logging in and out of everyone's account, in an attempt to transfer posts.
Could someone help? Would be really grateful!
Tom
Edit: I'm using Safari 7.0.31. Delete Safari .plist file.
Quit all applications.
Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
Select "Library" from the drop down.
Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
Right click on it and select "Move To Trash".
Restart. Relaunch Safari.
2. Turn off Extensions, if any.

Firefox remembers my passwords but not my email address for signing in how can I fix this please?
I have just migrated to Firefox from IE and very much like it. However, I use yahoo webmail and set it as my homepage but every time it loads it asks me to sign in again and have to re-enter my email adress although my password is remembered. Its really frustrating and doesnt do this in IE. Help appreciated. Cheers
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.
* 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.

Saved passwords will not show passwords in firefox 3.6
When I go to Tools>Option>Security>Saved Passwords - Saved Passwords do not show up.
Firefox has some printing bugs that appear when the page designer uses certain style rules. There's no immediate prospect that Firefox will be fixed, but of course mail.live.com could be changed at any time. Until then, you can use the Stylish extension to override the styles on mail.live.com, and many other sites that could use a tweak.
If you're inclined to try this:
(1) Install Stylish
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108/
(2) Add a new user style
Tools > Add-ons > User Style tab > Write New Style button
Give it any name you like (e.g., Fix Hotmail Printing) and then copy and paste the following style rule text into the large edit area:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("mail.live.com") {
.PrintContent .ReadMsgBody .ExternalClass {display:block !important}
Compare with my screen shot for reference.
Explanation: this overrides the style from display:inline-block back to display:block.
Works for me. Any luck? -
I have followed the steps under security within Firefox to remove a saved password, but it hasn't actually removed it. I removed it and then tried to sign on again and it automatically went to the saved password. This URL uses an admin and a general password and I accidentally saved the general password so unable to open as an admin. When I go to the URL to enter my admin password it goes to the saved general password. As administrator for my church website, I can't get into it and make changes without using my admin password.
Remove saved Password(s) here:
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

This is not just problem sites like gmail or yahoo. Every site I go to is having this same problem. Window pops up asking to "remember password for x on x" and I press the "Remember Password" button and nothing happens. The popup just stays there like it didn't register my response. Finally I close it and ultimately the password is not saved. It's clearly a bug but I can't figure how to fix it. Any suggestions?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.<br />
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.<br />
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.<br />
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

The saved passwords are not shown in 'password manager'
My firefox browser had saved my password for Yahoo.It logged me in automatically everytime I went to the particular site, without a problem but recently I Forgot my password for yahoo and when I went to the password manager it was empty and did not show anything. I then went to yahoo mail to make sure whether or not firefox still has my password and found out it logged me in just like it did before which means firefox remembers my password but won't show them in 'Password manager'. Pls help me .
There are two elements that are 'remember' points for yahoo web mail.
Depending on what you have clicked in the past, Yahoo.com saves a little file on your device called a 'cookie'. When you 'logged' into the website for the first (or more recent) time, there was a little check box next to the login field and password fields. It probably was checked. this enabled yahoo to save on your computer a 'cookie' so that you are now known by yahoo and others , when you connect ,and when you last looked at their website (and were presented with their advertising, as payment for using their free service), now when you signed out from Yahoo, it remembered the cookie, and not your password. The next time you forgot your password, and clicked 'I forgot my password' at yahoos site, it looked at your 'cookie', then sent you to the correct site for your country or language.. Thats what fouled up before. (Remember , Firefox has not saved your password yet), however, there was a point where you can click update my password), and then FF will save your password to the website you told it to. Auto-Complete is what happens when you fill in your user name, and that also gets stored with your 'cookie'.
J Hope this helps explain the 3 places where your password is kept.
1) Locally on your device in a secure file (IF Master Password is used) based on the domain name you connect to.
2)In a cache file in memory, while the session is active, and refreshed occaisionally, and linked with a 'cookie' from the website.
3)At the Yahoo Web Server and cached internally, to match with the cookie that is stored with your machineID.

FTP login and password are not saved on some sites
On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
(even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
problem.Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
improvements.
I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
I did however discover that there is still what could be
considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
it's data.
I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
before only that one will be saved.
So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
be this way.
But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
for the next editing session. -

How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes.
And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

So one day when I opened my mozilla firefox Ive got the "Firefox is already running but not responding.To open a new window,you must first close the existing firefox process,or restart your system."
So I checked my task manager but there is no process,I then checked hours in the internet to find a solution.Yes,I also checked for solutions in this site.Then,I try uninstalling and restarting,it also didn't work,Next I also tried downloading profilemanager and tried to run it but as unlucky as I can be,it also didn't work. Please help :(The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I run Firefox 29.0.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit) and I get the "Firefox is already running but not responding. In order to open the program you must close the existing window." error. EVERY TIME I try to start Firefox. The posted solution works to start the program, but it is not a permanent solution. I go through the Task Manager and end the old Firefox process, then I can open a new window. While working, I can open multiple tabs and multiple windows, everything seems to (usually) work the way it should. Then after I completely exit Firefox, in order to open the program again I need to fix the SAME error again. Every time. It doesn't seem to hurt anything really, but it is quite annoying.
I used to get this same error on some of the older Firefox versions but it was only once in a while. With the new 29.0.1 it is literally EVERY TIME I TRY TO RUN FIREFOX!!!!
So, down to the big question: is there a permanent fix for this yet? Or will there be one included in the next version update? Or am I going to have to go back to Internet Explorer? I know I am not alone in this experience; i've seen several other users posting similar questions but none of them received satisfactory answers. So what's the story here, team Firefox?'''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866?esab=a&s=&r=1&as=s'''.<BR>
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up. -
Why can I receive emails but not send them?
I have an iPhone 4, and I recently updated to iOS 7. Since the. I have not been able to send any emails. I am able to receive them, but not send them. I keep getting an error message saying that something is wrong with my password or username. I have tried to hard restart the phone, revert to a backup from before I updated the phone, and also deleted all emails and redid them, all with the same result. What should I do, and if it's a consistent problem with the new system, when is Apple going to fix it?
Yes, I have tried everything the sites have said besides taking it in to the Genius Bar. I tried hard restarting it, making sure my internet connection worked, moving off and on other networks, used an old backup to when I had iOS 6, deleting al my email accounts and adding them back, none of it has worked.
