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 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.

Check to see what is different between setups. You may want to reset prefences in the balky computer.

After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

Firefox will not load to the web, even after 2nd download.

I have used firefox as a web browser because our school page works best with it. I have used firefox for over three months. This weekend firefox will not load. The screen message says unable to load web page, try again button is displayed, all to no avail.

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 display on the screen even though with Process Explorer I see Firefox.exe active but no CPU usage

I use Firefox v10.0.2 as default browser on Dell XPS8300 e/w Intel Core i5 & Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 e/w Intel Core i3 & Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (about 90% of attempts) than the Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display to the screen when I click on icon. When it happens I cannot display other programs. I specifically say display because I believe Firefox has started. To circumvent the problem I installed Process Explorer on both machines and start this program first then click on Firefox icon. When problem occurs I can see Firefox.exe process in Process list; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on Firefox icon again another process opens in Process list but with same response - some CPU consumed and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the 1st process, the 2nd will display and everything from then on is normal. If I do not open a 2nd process but kill the 1st process then click on Firefox icon Firefox is displayed and everything from then on is normal. This problem has occurred since original installation on both new machines. I've updated video drivers in both machines.

Ok, let's see if we can fix this and get it working for you!
First, if you start Firefox in [[safe mode|safe mode]] (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the shift key) does it start up more reliably? This is usually caused by a faulty add-on. If it does help, then restart Firefox, go into the Firefox button, then add-ons, and disable your extensions one by one until you find the trouble maker.
Also, try updating to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.
Just as a few basic troubleshooting steps to make sure we have all the bases covered,
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. you can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

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

Even thought I've foillowed all the instructions for saving password FireFox does not ask to nor does it save my passwords.

Firefox 27 in new profile will not store security certificate exception

I created a new profile in order to transfer settings to a new PC. Under the new profile I cannot permanently store Security Certificate exceptions although I can do so in the default profile. I can create a one off exception in the new profile. Is there a fix?

What I meant is which websites require you 990you to add an exception.
Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

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!!

Dreamweaver will not save site settings local/network

MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
CS6 Dreamweaver version 12 build 5808
1st site definition: I want to test files locally, then 'put' them to my test server.
2nd site definition: I want to take the file from my local folder and 'put' it to my production server.
I mounted 2drives on the mac... my test server and my live server. The drives have been mounted on different mount points so they don't overwrite each other.
I go into Dreamweaver and select 'manage sites'. I browse to my local folder for the first screen... the next screen (Server tab) wants the path to the test server. I browse to the correct server (verified!!) and click 'Choose'. The path shown in the box on the active 'Server' tab is correct.... BUT when I click 'save', the path CHANGES to my production server.
It will absolutely NOT save the information that I have specified. I am connecting to my servers via local/network.
I've renamed the dreamweaver prefs folders and deleted the site-cache contents...
Almost an hour on the phone with Adobe, and the tech told me they were not trained to assist with local/network setups. What is interesting is the fact that when I browse out to my test server from 'manage sites', I can see my files, expand my folders, etc. It is not a permissions issue- Dreamweaver just won't save the information I enter.
Would appreciate any help I can get on this....

Nancy, I appreciate your time but looks like we found something that will work for us...
OS X does not seem to know what to do with mounted drives if they have the same name. For example:
ip: 192.xxx.xxx.22\MyServer
and
ip: 192.xxx.xxx.23\MyServer
when these are mounted, even at different mount points and with different IP addys, OS X only "sees" the sharename, and seems to disregard the mapping to the share Awesome!!
Re-naming one of the network shares was NOT an option, and the Alias option on OS X does not help at all..... OS X still only sees the sharename, even when the Alias is well......renamed as an alias.... go figure!
Since we were unable to find any way to resolve this from OS X, we ended up creating a second network share for the target folder, using a different name. Issue resolved.

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?
imac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

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
