Firefox will not remember Passwords to Hotmail or Live messenger,

I have gone to option and posted "allow" to cookies, and what ever else I think I should have done, but it still won't remember. I've gone to Hotmail and enabled everything that I thought, but still no luck. I'm getting tired entering my email and password every time, please help......

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.

Firefox will NOT remember passwords although I've checked the "Remember Passwords for Sites" option.

The question is just as I posed it - Firefox forgets to keep the passwords for sites, even after I'm prompted to do so each time a site is opened.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?

Firefox v3.6.8 will NOT remember passwords. I've doubled check the settings but it will not remember the passwords

New HP laptop, O/S XP-Pro, my previous computer with XP-Pro had no problem remembering passwords but this v of Firefox will not remember the PW's

Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.
For instance, my bank has four fields on the sign-in page - username, security code, password, and an odd one with a number between 1 and 4 in it. Firefox only saves the username and password and so can't fill in the other fields. Actually it refuses to fill in any of the fields. It seems to not recognise the page at all.
The only way I can see around the problem at the moment is to save any that Firefox will save and use RoboForm to save the others. It means having two programs to do one job. It's messy but at least it works and I can save all my usernames and passwords and have them fill in properly.
I don't know why it is that RoboForm will save the data but Firefox won't. It appears to be something to do with Firefox only saving two fields whereas RoboForm will save any number as required.

Firefox will not remember my e-mail log in

I had no problem with my e-mail until about a week ago. I made no changes before this. Now firefox will not remember my e-mail log in. I check the box (remember me) but it does no good. I went to tool (privacy) and went through the process to remember my log ins but nothing seems to help

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.

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.

Cleared history and now Firefox does not remember passwords

I went to "clear recent history" and chose "everything" on "time range to clear." Now my passwords do not autofill anymore. There are still saved in the "Options" tab.

Safari will not remember passwords

I've only recently started using keychain but this has already gotten on my nerves. Almost all of my websites will not remember my password, and not just banking sites - even YouTube and MySpace ask for my password. And when I do, it gives me the "This password is different. Would you like to replace the saved password with this one?", even though it's the same.
I've searched the discussion pages and here's a list of solutions I've tried but to no avail:
- Checking "User names and passwords" in Autofill in Safari preferences
- Unchecking "Open with Rosetta" (wasn't checked anyway)
- Deleting com.apple.safari.plist
- Keychain First Aid
- Creating new keychain
- Deleting "Safari Forms Autofill"
Can anyone help me out?
Rob

I also have the same problem and have tried all the recommended solutions to no avail. I have finally switched to Firefox for most of my Web browsing because it does not present a similar inconvenience for me as does Safari right now. Nonetheless, I still wish that was not the only apparent solution to this problem for me, as I prefer Safari to Firefox otherwise.
If any of you finally do find a was to fix this once and for all, please clue me in, too.
Thanks!

Firefox will not remember last window size

I am using Firefox 32.0.2 on a Windows 7 computer.
Starting yesterday when a new window opens it will not remember the window size. It always opens to a small window that takes up about 1/4 of the screen. It should remember the last window size used and open new windows to that size.
I have not changed anything on the computer since it last worked that I am aware of (it is a work computer so IT could have done something).
I have already done a reset and deleted and recreated localstore.rdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may have a corrupt '''localstore.rdf''' file.

New firefox will not remember my hotmails email addresses or passwords

the newer firefox (4) will not store my email addresses or passwords on msns hotmail. everytime i go to logon it has already forgotten my email address and i have to type it all in again

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically. 
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

Firefox will not remember web site passwords

I have set the security option to remember passwords. I have also set the web site to remember passwords. I still have to log in to my home page every time I open Firefox.
The home page is www.symbaloo.com.
Internet Explorer remembers it without issue.
Thanks.

HT203783 Safari IOS 8 will not remember passwords!!!

I have keychains turned on, I have safari names &passwords turned on, I am not browsing privately. The saved passwords is empty every time I look, so there's nothing there to edit. Every single time I go to a website that is supposed to remember my password, I have to log in all over again. SOOOOOOOFRUSTRATING!!!!!!

Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.

With Mac OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 7.0.1, firefox is not remembering passwords nor is firefox asking to remember passswords?

Firefox does remember passwords for some sites but not others. Some of the others have been previously remembered but with different user names and passwords.
The problem started with changes in the user name and password, or with changes in the login URL.

Thanks for your second reply. The problem is apparently in the Firefox software, since it occurs with all Mac users even though their personal information is different. In other words, the problem follows the website.
I have been unable to find a systematic way to duplicate the problem. It initially occurred while I was changing user names and passwords. I didn't want to update some of the changes in the "saved passwords". My recollection is that I ignored the "Remember password" prompt. URL's were changed. The "Remember password" prompt no longer appeared, and did not reappear when returning the the web sign-in page.
For those web pages, there is no "Remember password" prompt. However, those pages are not included as exceptions to the "Remember passwords for sites" exceptions. Similarly, the sites do not appear in the saved passwords.
I have read the recommended reading; none seem to apply. For one of the sites, I was able to produce a pull down list for user name. However, the Shift + Delete action produced no change.
