How can I get firefox to ask me to save passwords for websites and to turn back on my auto complete for webpages?

Ever since the last update of firefox my autocomplete no longer functions and firefox no longer asks me if I want to save the password for sites I visit.

"Remember passwords for sites" is shaded in the Private Browsing mode and when "Always use Private Browsing mode" is enabled.

    If you have exhausted your free trial period on your computer, even if you didn't actually get to try it, short of wiping and reinstalling your entire system from scratch you're not going to be able to extend the trial period.  If there was a way, there would be people who would take advantage and just never subscribe.

  • How do I get firefox to ask me to remember passwords? I have it checked in the security tab and it does nothing...

    I can't get firefox to ask me to remember user names and passwords. I got a new computer and now I have to type all my user names and passwords in. I have the little box checked under security settings and there are no exceptions... so it seems it should be working... but it never even asks, no gray bar... etc.

  • How can I get rid of 'Ask' in the list of search engines, which always comes back (and at the top of the list) even though I check the 'Remove' box in 'Manage Search Engines'?

    I don't think I can add anything relevant to the question

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>ask.com</i> via the Filter at the top of that page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>ask.com</i> related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • How can i get firefox to ask me to open or save a download?

    firefox used to ask me to open or save a file when i downloaded it and now it doesn't, is there a way 2 change it back 2 the way it was?

    Found it!
    If you go to Tools/Options/Applications there is a list of file types. Here you can select what you want fireFox to open downloads with by their file type. not sure why it decided to swap from selecting an application to just saving the file, but it did.
    Looks like fireFox will no longer pop up the "open with" box on an unknown file type anymore though.

  • How can I get firefox to ask for password on all log-in sites?

    Firefox has stopped asking to save my log-in passwords on "certain" websites. I checked my tools options, there's a check mark in the remember password box, and there's nothing in the "exception" or "allow or block" options. Can you help, please? Thank you.

    Brand-new MacBook Pro running Lion OS (10.7.1)

    Hi cor-el -
    Thanks for directing me to the Mozilla help pages for passwords. I had already done that to no avail.
    I had deleted the particular saved password from my Saved Passwords list (because it didn't include my username), and I now want to add it, but FF won't offer a second chance to save.
    The password is not in my Saved Passwords list nor is it listed in the Exceptions.
    (I'm running on a brand-new MacBookPro with OS Lion 10.7.1.)
    I found the following and tried it, but it didn't work:
    • delete site from bookmarks
    • clear history when FF closes in prefs
    • quit FF
    • restart FF
    • uncheck clear history when FF closes in prefs
    I still can't seem to make FF offer me a second chance to save a password for a particular site.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • How can I get firefox to execute perl scripts from local files

    I have created perl scripts on my local host (file type ".pl").
    In MS Windows I have associated that type to a perl interpreter installed on my local host.
    IE allows me to create links to them and to execute them (after asking for permission).
    How can I get firefox to do the same? It doesn't seem to allow me to add application types, only to change those that are already defined. As a result, in firefox, they just show up as text, instead of being executed.

    First guess is that you did not use an .html extension on the file. The file may well be ''name.html.txt''

    Did you check the network setting?
    Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

    Hello,
    That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
    The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
    If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

  • How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

    How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
    Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
    Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.
