Firefox' remember password prompt appears as expected but doesn't allow to click on its first option.

Since I installed Firefox 20, everytime I visit a new site where I enter a login and password, it prompts me to remember the password as it always used to do. However, the only choice I have is to click on 'no' or 'later' from the pop-up menu. The first option 'remember password' doesn't work. It looks normal (i.e. not greyed out or anything), it is clickable, bun when clicked on it, nothing happens. The prompt dialogue stays open and the password wasn't remembered.
I already tried in safe mode, it's the same story.
Could someone please help me with this? I don't feel like having to remember all new passwords by heart...
Thanks.

I also have this issue on my Dell XPS 15 laptop with the Nvidia Geforce 540M and the temporary fix is turning off hardware acceleration. I do believe that this should only be a temporary fix and that the Mozilla developers should figure out a way to work around this or fix this hardware acceleration issue with the nvidia geforce 540m.

Firefox master password prompt appears randomly

Every time I open Firefox, the Master Password prompt appears randomly within about 30 seconds. Sometimes I'm still sitting on the home screen when I get the prompt.
I have tried to refresh Firefox, reinstall Firefox, I've turned my Master Password requirement on and off, restarted the computer... nothing seems to work.
I would either like the prompt right away, as soon as I open my browser, or when it is actually required, like when I open a login page. Not the current, seemingly random appearance that disrupts me in the middle of web browsing.
This bug is so annoying that it is a deal breaker for me. It's especially annoying when I am starting to type something, then the Master Password prompt appears without warning and takes the cursor focus with it. I have to stop what I'm doing, deal with the Master Password prompt, then get back to what I'm doing.
In the meantime, I've switched over to Chrome, which is serving my needs fine, but I would like to come back to Firefox if I can resolve this issue.

Hi Will,
Are you using Firefox Sync?
In order to keep your sync login details secure, you have to unlock your master password before Firefox can synchronise.

Screensaver password prompt appears by itself

I've just started noticing this problem a month or so ago and it is now becoming a security risk and major pain in the ***. I throw the mouse in the corner to start the saver, it starts and then randomly after a few seconds the password prompt appears. then goes away and appears again a few seconds after that!
anyone else seen this weird behavior and/or know how to resolve it?

Not to be too pedantic...
I throw the mouse in the corner to start the saver, it starts and then randomly after a few seconds the password prompt appears.
I saw the word mouse and assumed you used one , and if the password prompt is appearing and not your desktop - the screen is locked.
Semantics does not solve the issue though, and hopefully KT's advice helps resolve this for you.
Cheers

I admit, it's been awhile since I synchronized. Just did so, and all appeared right with the world, the handheld made the appropriate noises and showed the appropriate actions and same on the computer (XP, connect as always have through USB). In other words, they appeared to "talk" and said they were synchronizing. But my data (like important calendar entries) is simply not there. Nothing. Nada.  Nothing recently added.
I tried repeating it several times. Yes, I have the system set up so that desktop overrides handheld.  So what's up? Used this a lot in the past, never had this happen.
Thanks for any help.
Using XP and the original hot sync that came with palm and that I've always used--no changes. Help????

I'm having the same problem though not with the exact same components. I have a Palm Z22 and Windows Vista--things were going great until a few days ago when I noticed that the palm weren't connecting. The Hotsync process proceeds normally, there are no problems noted in the hotsync log, and yet things do not travel from the computer to the palm and vice versa. I've tried pretty much everything: I know the palm is connected to the desktop, not Outlook; I have tried soft and hard resets; I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times; I know the username is correct.
I suspect the problem has something to do with Vista; when I restored my computer to a previous time it started working fine but this morning it stopped again. The computer may be automatically updating in a way that is preventing the Palm Desktop software (verson 4.2) from working. Version 6.2 seems to work but I really hate it--there's no color schemes or categories. If someone could help me out with this I would really, really appreciate it.

IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.
It happened after installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.
Any ideas?

Disable screen saver. Restart.

Red circle alert to what? Maybe post a screen shot of your issue.

My phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

i have a iphone 5 and my phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

How can I make firefox remember passwords on ALL sites?

Firefox has a feature to remember my passwords, which is very useful. However, some sites mess with this so they won't save my passwords. In some cases these sites turn "autocomplete" off for the password field in their html; in other cases they appear to use some kind of javascript magic to stop me from saving my passwords.
First of all, why should websites try to stop me from saving my password? Do they really think its more secure if people have to write their passwords on stickynotes on their monitor to remember them--or worse, use the same password on all sites? I what way is it conceivably more secure? In any case it's MY business how I manage my passwords--not theirs!
I have had some success in battling evil sites that try to stop my from saving my passwords by editing the nsLoginManager.js file. But this is not convenient as I must keep doing this every time firefox gets upgraded, and it doesn't work for some sites like American Express which I think use some sort of javascript to stop me from doing what I want.
So my question is, how can I effectively make firefox remember ALL the passwords I want, when _I_ want to--and NOT obey evil websites that just want to practice CYA while actually making me LESS secure?

You can use the Remember Password bookmarklet: <br />
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password <br /> ''Has worked for me when I have needed it to save a password on a web site that used autocomplete=off.'' As far as the Bug that '''cor-el''' linked, I can't remember ever running across a website that did it like that.
Or, you can use the Saved Password Editor extension, which includes a means of manually adding Username/Passwords to Firefox. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60265

Everytime I close Firefox, "Remember passwords option gets unchecked"

I recently noticed that Firefox is NOT remembering my passwords. When I go to Options->Security-> and check "Remember Passwords," the options stays checked ONLY FOR THAT SESSION. When I close Firefox, and then reopen it, the check box is always "unchecked."

If that line is missing then that means that the pref has the default "true" value and in that case the box should be checked on the next start.
You did try Save mode to see if an extension is changing that setting?

[SOLVED] Password prompt appears twice at boot up login

I boot up to the regular text login and startx manually. I recently updated after perhaps 4-5 days days and updated my /etc/*.conf.pacnew files as well.
After rebooting, I was presented with the text login, entered my username and password, and after pressing enter was presented with the same password prompt again. I re-entered my password and was presented with the prompt as usual. Any suggestions on what files might have led to this? I merged /etc/pam.d/login with /etc.pam.d/login.pacnew (which had many fewer lines). Could there be a line in there that's causing this? I'm not familiar with what controls the text login at boot.

Downloads such as adobe flash update won't download even when anti virus is disabled. The download box appears and runs but doesn't show anything.

Any updates or downloads won't download in Firefox. The download box appears, goes thru the motions but doesn't park anything in the file. I usually have to quite Mozilla, use Explorer for the download, such as Go to Meeting, or Adobe updates. Can't download anything with Firefox from your browser.

Can I get the "Remember Password" prompt back

I searched an found almost the same question, but not quite.
Even though I probably shouldn't I have been letting FF remember my passwords to a lot of websites that don't really matter . . . including a couple of "junk" freemail accounts that I use for newsletters and spam magnets.
FF stopped remembering the password to one of my Yahoo accounts even though it still offers up the pw for the other one. Since security isn't really an issue with these and the convenience is awfully nice, is there a way to get the remember prompt back for the one account?
Thanks

The Yahoo log in website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

Firefox "remembered password" fills in the wrong field

my email account (Gmail) is "@u.northwestern.edu". The log in screen has 2 sets of fields. For current students, it is a NetID & Net Password, for alums it is an Account Name & Account Password. I asked Firefox to remember my password, but every time I open the page it fills in the NetID & Net Password (first 2 fields), not the AN & APW (second 2 fields). I have to cut and past every time!

Maybe:
*Secure Login: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4429
*Autofill Forms: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4775

Firefox' remember password prompt appears as expected but doesn't allow to click on its first option.
