FIREFOX NO LONGER KEEPS MY PASSWORDS EVEN WHEN I SET IT TO DO SO. HEEEEEEELP!

1)Firefoz used to ask me if I wanted computer to remember passwords for emails etc...now it no longer asks if I enter new site with new passwords
2) firefox also no longer remembers my passwords - I must type in each time to each site.
3) I did try to reset it by going into "options" on tools; i marked remember cookis, still when I close firefox it cancels the lot. I did follow all instructions given on the various help pop-up-pages.
SO WHAT HAS CHANGED?? I did not click on anything new or did anything different to what I normally did.
SO: plese help to reset:
- firefox asking again if i want to remember it new passwords;
- make sure all my regularly used sites remember all paswords.
many thanks,

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* 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"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Firefox is remembering logins and passwords even when I've set the options to clear them when I exit. I access confidential sites and do not like this. How can I turn off this feature?

    I want all passwords, browsing history, everything to clear when I shut down. Currently, it maintains my logins for certain sites. Due the confidentiality of my work, I do not want this to happen. I went to options and set it to clear upon closing, but that is not working.

    If you mean websites remembering you by saving cookies via session restore then you can try this.
    You can set the pref <b>browser.sessionstore.privacy_level</b> to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.privacy_level
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • My iCloud keeps asking me for a password even when I enter it, it still keeps asking. I have tried turning it off but it doesn't work.

    My iCloud keeps asking me for a password even when I enter it, it still keeps asking. I have tried turning it off but it doesn't work. It is really annoying!!
    Please help me!! (The same thing happened on this device and when I reset it, it worked....why isn't my iPad 3rd gen. Working...?)

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • 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 constantly runs in the background even when closed

    Hi
    I have Firefox 3.6.8 running on Windows Vista.
    I have found that Firefox constantly runs in the background even when i have just booted up the computer or when i have closed it.
    Firefox seems to constantly run with 5000-20000 K bytes in the memory.
    When i have Firefox running to look at webpages, there are two processes running. When i close Firefox there is one process running. If i end the process using the task manager, it only takes seconds before it starts to run again.
    I know this isnt normal because i keep a good eye on the processes running on my computer. So unless the latest version of Firefox requires this process running all the time, it looks like i have a probably.
    Ive scanned my computer with zonealarm, avast, superantispyware and spybot to scan my computer for viruses. One of the pieces of software found a virus and it deleted it successfully.
    Im not too sure if this is a virus that is hiding in my system or whether its part of the latest version of Firefox.
    Firefox isnt showing the usual signs of a virus. As in it doesnt try to redirect me to random websites and it doesnt try to get me to download something.
    I hope someone can help me please.
    Rob

    After talking to someone very helpful on the live chat support.
    It appears like i have a virus that is very good at hiding from detection from anti-virus/spyware software.
    No idea what intentions the virus has as its not showing any sort of virus like behaviour.
    I called the old installation a different name and closed the Firefox process. A few seconds later, instead of a Firefox process starting again a different executable started.

  • Firefox warns always when closing multiple tabs, even when respective setting is cleared

    Firefox warns always when closing multiple tabs, even when respective setting is cleared. "browser.tabs.warnOnClose" (and "browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs" too) are in "false" state. The same behaviour after reset. Firefox 32.0.3, OS - Linux Mint 17.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Ovi Maps 3.03 keeps going online even when told no...

    So I've just downloaded the new free Ovi Maps for my 5800 and it's pretty nice, except for one thing: even when I set the conection to offline it still connects to the Internet every time the app is started (which, even though the app is fullscreen is visible when, for example you go into the settings screen). It seems though that after a minute or so it disconnects, but still, the old Maps app asked on startup whether to connect, this one just does without asking every time it's started... Am I missing some hidden setting?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Really need indication of which device you are using to give you relevant information here.
    As it can take a while to establish position using "Integrated GPS" positional method, "Network GPS" can give approximate position based on cell tower triangulation and "Assisted GPS" can carry out numerical calculations much faster on remote server than using device resources.
    In some countries just downloading regional maps such as UK is sufficient for "Search" in OVI Maps application in "Offline" mode to locate to postcode level, whereas in larger countries OVI Maps needs to be "Online" to produce this result.
    As you have posted on the end off a thread headed "OVI Maps v3.03" unless you are using E71 I would be surprised if later version is not availble for your device from here:

  • The volume slowly increases to the 100% even when I set the volume slider to 1%...

    When I try to set the volume lower on my PC, it quickly increases to 100% volume, even when I set the volume slider to 1 or 2%. When I set it to 0%, however, it does mute the volume. It's rediculous! I just want quieter music, but I am constantly blasted by maxed out volume...

    A stuck multimedia key on your keyboard to increase the volume perhaps? iTunes won't change the volume of its own accord. Perhaps there is an option in your control panel to disable the function.

  • Seahorse keeps asking about password, even when ssh-key is used

    Hi,
    I want easy access to my repos on bitbucket.
    I have set my id_rsa.pub in bitbucket preferences, but when I try take any action on repo I have to type password .
    First there is graphical popup menu to type password, when I cancel it I can type password in terminal.
    error: unable to read askpass response from '/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass'
    Password for 'https://[email protected]':
    I have tried set ssh-key for bitbucket on my raspberry pi, and it works properly (no password is needed).

    I do not use Bitbucket, but I think this is similar to the issue with GitHub that I have noticed. Basically, when the url scheme of the remote is https:// , I am always asked for a password, but when there is no scheme (for github this is 'remote  [email protected]:XXX/XXX') (or when the scheme is ssh:// , I assume), the ssh key is used.
    I suggest you see whether you can use an alternate url scheme and see if it fixes the problem.
    Hope this helps!

  • Keep fixed resolution even when display not attached

    Is there any way to lock the display resolution on a Mac, even when there is no display attached? Or to change the set of display resolutions that are available when no display is attached?
    I connect a Mac to my A/V system via DVI -> HDMI. As long as the unit the Mac is connected to is turned on, the Mac gets reasonable EDID info and allows me to set it to 1920x1080, as desired. But after turning the A/V system off overnight, the Mac invariably reverts to some lower resolution, which wreaks havoc with window sizes and positions. I just want the Mac to stay at 1920x1080.
    I tried SwitchResX, which lets you add available resolutions and disable resolutions, but only when the display is attached, so it accomplishes nothing when the display is disconnected. I've confirmed the inability of SwitchResX to address the problem with its author.
    I purchased a Gefen DVI Detective Plus that theoretically learns the EDID information of a display, keeps that information available to the Mac at all times, and passes the video through it. This would be perfect, except A) it doesn't work correctly in the learning mode (I never did get an image up that way), and B) using a built-in EDID configuration it doesn't cleanly pass the video (it works sometimes, for a little while, but then sparklies start to appear and before long the HDMI connection is lost). Useless.
    I found information on the web about various .plist files, and I've edited most or all of them, all to no avail. I think I could give myself additional resolutions, while a display is connected, but, again, it's the behavior when there effectively is no display that is causing me problems.
    Unless someone here knows a way to lock the display resolution or to edit the set of resolutions available when a display is missing I fear I'll be moving and resizing windows for the rest of my days.
    (Note: This machine happens to still be on Tiger, but I'd be happy to upgrade it to Leopard if that would afford a solution.)

    Are you saying you already got it fixed but the problem is reaccuring??
    I am part of the unlucky ones who didnt't have applecare or the extended warranty. My iMac broke down 8 months ago. I no longer have any display. The strange thing was I left it at home because I went to uni, so there was a period of at least 10 months where it was not used. But still it failed within a few weeks of me getting back home. I was sucked in by their adverts making me believe they were a superior computer to any windows based. How wrong was I. It has now left me with a very bitter taste.
    Any of you guys know if it still will work if I connect an external monitor?

  • Firefox immediately switching to new tab even when that feature is disabled on right-click open in new tab or on ctrl+click a link. Please help.

    Firefox switches immediately to new tab or the immediate next tab if multiple tabs are open, even when the respective feature is disabled, whenever I open a link by -
    1. Right-click > open in new tab
    2. Ctrl + click a link
    Earlier it did not happen like this. It is really very annoying. Re-installation and clean installation of the latest version did not helped.
    And this is happening mainly when I am using Facebook. Earlier it never happened so with Facebook.

    I don't have the divX plug-in and I still have this problem. Why should plug-ins that are not even triggered by the affected pages alter Firefox's behavior. Feels like bad architecture.
