Firefox won't remember the place my extension icon is placed

I recently installed a new extension to my Firefox but I didn't like how it's icon is placed next to my home button so I moved it to somewhere else.. Now the problem is that Firefox doesn't remember this each time i reopen Firefox.
Any solution for this? Thanks!

Please update to Firefox 32 and see if you still have this problem, 28 is no longer supported or secure

Firefox won't remember the tabs from when I closed it out last.

I signed out of my laptop to go and do something else, and when i rebooted it, and clicked on firefox it came up with my homepage, Bing, instead of the five other tabs I had had on it. As a test, I pulled up two different tabs, Facebook and DeviantArt, and I purposefully closed it again, hoping it was only a minor problem. When I clocked back onto it, it was Bing again. I've gone to tools, options, and looked under the start up settings, and it says it will remember tabs from the last session, but it isn't, and when i look under history, it only says Bing, even though I've been using firefox for over a year and i have more history than that. It's a very annoying problem since i just got used to the layout, and i don't like internet explorer, so i would very much appreciate if someone could help with my problem.

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5/6 or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session (e.g. "Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
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 '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''

Firefox won't remember window size within the window

The size within the window will not remember it's size.
By either using the - / + or "Ctrl" & scroll wheel to change the size within the window...Firefox won't remember and when you go to the next window or link or tab or new page or whatever it goes back to the size it wants to be at (like a default size).
How do we get it to stay the same size for every page?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

I had to change a password, so I deleted the site from remembered passwords, and now firefox won't remember my new one

I changed a password, so I went to tools and deleted the password from saved passwords. Now Firefox won't remember this password for the site.

Firefox doesn't remember the last used download directory that I saved to when it restarts!

Even when I have firefox set to ask me where to save files, it's default location is still the folder selected under "download options", instead of the last location I saved to.
I suspect that this has something to do with the "download.lastdir" option in "about:config", which disappears everytime it's restarted and only appears when I have saved a file before checking on it.
Firefox used to remember the last location in which a file was saved. This was simpler and more convenient.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed version 3.6.6

Deleting "browser.download.lastDir" makes firefox unusable.
It's very annoying. I'm sick of the update to 3.6. It's getting worse with each minor update.
Hour after hour researching about this odd behavior sucks!

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.

Firefox won't access the internet but [as now with this question] IE does - this has happened before where I used IE to fix firefox

Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

Thanks iPod Whisperer--
I do realize that the nano will resume where I left off in my audiobook if I reload the file that was last playing.
What I was hoping is that the 6g nano would work like my previous iPods and default to the last file played the next time played after Iused sleep mode instead of going to some random song on the iPod.
Since I usually have a lot of audiobooks on my iPod--and most of those have 10-15 files in them, it's a pain to have to navigate to the correct file (and try to remember which of the 10-15 files I was last playing). On all my other iPods I could simply hit play and it would start up in the audiobook right where it left off.
Note--this only happens if I use the sleep timer to turn off the iPod. If I pause the book myself, when I turn the iPod back on it'll "remember" what file it was playing.
Hope this makes sense.

How to recover the "GMail" Safari extension icon?

I seem to have lost the "GMail" Safari extension icon. This is the one with the plain "envelope" outline (NOT the "GMail Counter" one). It originally appeared as a selection in the Safari/View/Customize Toolbar window, but is now gone. And that particular extension does not appear in the "Safari/Safari Extensions..." option.
I thought I recalled that there is a way to delete Safari and then restart OSX to have it reinstalled, but I can't accomplish that it seems.
All advice appreciated for how to recover that "GMail" Safari extension.
TIA

UPDATE.
I found that Extension on my iMac running Lion. (Library/Safari/Extensions). Sent as an attachment to an email to myself and copied it to that location on my MBP.
Problem solved.
Suggestion: Do NOT "Uninstall" Safari extensions from the Toolbar. Just do Safari/View/Customize Toolbar and simply Move the unwanted extension back to the Customize window.

Firefox won't remember username and password on a certain site. I have the option enabled to remember passwords, and the site is not listed in the exceptions. On my home computer, Firefox DOES remember the password for this specific site. Any suggestions?

This happens on my updated Firefox 4.0 and on the previous version from which I updated.

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?
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Firefox won't remember cookies--I can't login anywhere...

Hello, I am having a unique and odd problem. FIrst, yes, I've verified that I've checked to "Accept cookies from sites to enable Cookies," but it doesn't seem to matter. Suddenly no site (using my laptop version of FF 3.6.1.) will take my passwords. They are valid. I can boot up my desktop (same version) and everything is fine. I was in a private browsing session. Things seemed fine. I came out of it. Things seemed fine. I rebooted--and I can't logon to a variety of sites, including Y-mail. Facebook works for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Can you drag links (e.g. bookmark or history items) in one of the slots?
Are you keeping history?
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Firefox won't remember my passwords, even though I have told it to. Is there a fix for this? I am running Windows7

I have told Firefox to remember the password(s) I use on many different websites. It never remembers any of them. Is there a fix for this? I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Windows 7.

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?
If Firefox doesn't offer to store passwords in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Firefox won't do the Master Password thing on mynew laptop. I have to eneter P/W's on each site i vist. it has worked fine on my PC, but even after i uninstall and reinstall Firefox, it still doesn't work.

i used to run the Norton password feature (it came w/ the new laptop) but now that i switched to McAfee, it doesn't recognize when i go to different sites. I've set up everything in the Mozilla menu (Tools, Options, Security, etc). it doesn't ask me of it want it to remember the password when log into Yahoo/Google/Facebook/etc)
i really like this feature and would like to figre out how to make it work. it works fine on my PC, by the way, just not on my laptop

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Firefox won't open the toolbar for Roboform - it just shows "close" - it used to open the entire toolbar

Firefox won't fully open the Roboform Toolbar any more. It used to work well. Now when I click on View/Toolbars/Roboform it opens a blank toolbar with the only option as "close", which closes the toolbar. How do i get Firefox to make this work normally?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== A few days ago

RoboForm usually has an update ready for a new version of Firefox within a week of Mozilla releasing the new version of Firefox. You just need to install the latest Roboform '''adapter''' for Firefox.
Install the Roboform adapter for Firefox 3.0 - 3.7a1pre from here:
http://www.roboform.com/firefox.html
You want the one under '''Full RoboForm for Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape'''.
Browser Version XPI file to use if not installed automatically
'''Firefox 3.0 - 3.7a1pre ''Installed Automatically (roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi)'''''
Or, you can install it with this link:
http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi

Firefox won't remember my passwords.

Firefox will not remember my passwords, the pop-up box doesn't appear. I have checked my settings, but I am unable to hook off the "Remember passwords for websites"-setting, it has a pale grey color. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You may be in Private Browsing mode, or told Firefox not to remember.
Type '''about:preferences#privacy'''<enter> in the address bar.
The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
Turn off '''Always use private browsing mode'''
Turn on '''Remember my browsing and download history'''
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
