Firefox will not save my Connections settings, so opens on manual proxy every time, rather than No Proxy?

I'm using Firefox 4.01 and it will not save my connections settings when I set them to "No Proxy" keeps defaulting to manual therefore it wont load any pages until I change it to "No Proxy" which I have to do every time I open firefox.

Firefox will not exit completly, have to close it with Task Manager every time. Why?

It is as if something is still running within it wanting to connect, I have ran virus and spyware scans on my laptop and nothing has came up, but it behaves like spyware. I have seen that 15 others share a similar problem, I hope that Firefox will fix this issue in the next release.

Firefox will not save my passwords

Firefox will not save my usernames and passwords. When I enter a password on a site FF will ask me if it wants to remember it. I always click "Remember Password". When I go to options>security>saved passwords it's always a blank field and I have no sites listed under exceptions.

I'm having a problem where Windows Live login won't remember both of my ID's. In FF 3.6, I used to be able to click in the empty username field and select which ID I wanted to use but since upgrading to FF 4.0, I can no longer do this.
I don't want it to remember passwords, just usernames....help pls.

Firefox will not save Site Certificate Exceptions even when checked to do so.

I have a publicly free Wifi Access point near by that I use daily. When logging on to this site I get a Warning about the Sites Certificate and do I want to proceed, I choose YES and then are asked if I want to make this exception permanent and I put a check mark in the box for yes and press accept. This is suppose to permanently accept this websites certificate in the future. It does not.. It will not save the exception from one session to the next.
IN SHORT: Firefox failure to permanently store website Certificate exceptions.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

Firefox will not retain all saved settings on BBC Website

The BBC Home page will not retain all settings.
The local area page (weather and news) is fine, but each time I increment the number of news stories, both national and local to the maximum, it returns to the default when I restart Firefox. It worked fine on previous versions of FF.
I have deleted the cookie and restarted FF, and this worked, but it has now returned to the default. FF=4.0.1

Its not just the web site that is recorded, but the page also.
Did you open your history ( '''Control Shift H''' ) and search for the site ?

Firefox will not save bookmarks

I have a new version of firefox and it will not let me allow me to save bookmarks. Nothing happens when I make this attempt. I have gone to support on their site but many are simply windows users. I do not know what to do, any suggestions?

Hi there,
I use Firefox on both a PC and an Apple and have not run into problems bookmarking pages. I have version 1.5.02 on the Apple.
You have a couple of options when bookmarking: save to a folder in your bookmarks section or bookmarking the page to the bookmarks toolbar. You should go to the Bookmarks menu > open Manage Bookmarks and see if your bookmarks are being saved into a folder...
Post back with particulars of what happens... Rick

Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
* https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the login form, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

Firefox will not 'save as pdf' for whole page, when the page is a large one. How can this be fixed?

My Mac Desktop PPC (2002) is running 10.4.11.
Firefox has no more updates beyond 3.6.24, which is what I'm running here.
I want to save a NY Daily News live update page (large and with photos..) ..which is not 'infinitely large': this one is page 3..
But the resulting pdf is two pages, with a NY Daily New beginning.. and an 'end' on page 2. Nothing in between.
can you help
'Troubleshooting information' is non-applicable here, since Firefox does not even acknowledge this as a category..!

FF will not hold internet connection settings when closed

Since upgrading to FF4 and subsequently to FF5:
Each day, after booting my system and starting FF, I have to go i nto preferences to reset the internet connection to 'no proxy'. FF defaults to a manual proxy config when closed. The network connection setting of 'no proxy' just won't hold when FF closes.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Firefox will not save my tabs or prompt asking if I want to save tabs. When it reopens it doesn't even bring up my home pages which have been properly saved. I have tried all the suggested fixes - the problem persists even in safe mode.

Firefox does not prompt to save my tabs nor does it bring them back when it reopens. It does not even bring up my home page. I have tried the suggested fixes in the help section. This still happens in safe mode so I tried disabling plugins etc. - no change.

this should solve some of your problem if it is because you got the '''newer''' version!!

FireFox will not save passwords even when set up to do so.

Firefox 6.02 will not save my privacy settings (Use Custom Settings) when I close the window

I am trying to set up my preferences in Google and it tells me that my cookies are not enabled. I open the Firefox 6 Preferences / Privacy window and select the Custom Settings option, to enable third party cookies. When I close the screen the setting is not saved. I am using Firefox 6.02 with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I took the check mark out of the "Remember Download History" box and closed the screen. It saved the privacy settings.

My firefox will not save in pdf format? why? any help would be greatly appreciated

i receive a file in pdf format, when i say file save as it wants to save the web address, and not in pdf format.
how do i do it?

Are you downloading or opening the .pdf file? If Firefox is using a plugin to display it, I would not really expect it to do that. Can you not download the .pdf file from the URL, if Firefox used a plugin?

New Firefox, will not save home page and opens up displaying all add-ons every time!

Okay - for YEARS now I've used ONLY Firefox - it had the best extensions and add-ons of any other browser out there. Add to it, it was safe and very quick. So it was my default browser.
This week I logged into my DeviantArt site and odd advertisements started showing up in the lower left and right corners of the browser, unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Add to it, they were very inappropriate! So I assumed that something was wrong, and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I had any 'bugs' causing the problems. And of course, there was some kind of nasty bug in Firefox causing all kinds of issues.
So, following the suggestions of the fixer, plus the suggestions here, I deinstalled Firefox (21) then reinstalled the newer version, 23. At first, I thought, "Wow, that is really fast!". When I opened Firefox it didn't go to my home page, it went to the Firefox startup page, along with opening tabs for EVERY add-on and extension!
So, opened Tools, Options and reset the home page to my home page, https://www.google.com
Simple, and something I've done before. I'm a computer geek and have worked on my own additions. So, set up my home page, was working in Firefox, went to youtube to download a video and it wouldn't! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings, and voila! No problems!
So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. That was last night. This morning I boot the puter and the first thing I do is open Firefox . And what happens? Oh, yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I WOULD HAVE WANTED! It's back to the Firefox startup page, and it opens tabs for EVERY SINGLE ADD-ON!
Holy carp, getting tired now. So I research from 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so just over 5 hours I keep trying to fix it based on Firefox instructions. Go into about:config, work on the strings, change the home page info, etc. Save it. Go back to Tools, Options and there's my home page. Close Firefox and open it, and what the heck? Again, back to where it was, opening as if I just uploaded this browser. Now I've spent literally HOURS trying to fix this and I'm so frustrated that I'm just about ready to de-install it! My one complaint is that I searched all over to try and find this same problem and cannot find it. Is that true, I'm the only one with this bizarre problem???

EDIT - Now that it's fixed, I shall remove my negative comments where I can. Oddly, the final reset fixed it...

Firefox will not save my Connections settings, so opens on manual proxy every time, rather than No Proxy?
