How can I get firefox to remember my email password every time?

When I want to check my email I put in my address; sometimes the password comes up correctly. Other times it puts in an incorrect password; when I click on sign in I get a message saying "Your password was changed ____ hours [0r days] ago. Then I have to type in the password. Why can't it consistently remember; usually, first thing in the morning it has the correct password, and occasionally throughout the day, but not always. This is hugely frustrating and annoying to me.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you on 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.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

== 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:

This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

How can I get Firefox to remember a password?

I was trying to log in to a website but had forgotten my password so I was routed to the security questions. Each time I entered a security question answer, the little Firefox box popped up asking me if I wanted Firefox to remember this "password". Each time I clicked on "Not now" and continued. When I had finally been sent a temporary password, logged into the site and changed the password, I logged out and logged in again. Of course, this time the little box did not pop up offering to remember the password! How do I get Firefox to remember my password?

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

How can I get firefox to remember my password?

I removed my user name and password under stored passwords because the password was changed. How can I get it to store the user name and password again because the pop up for it never shows up?

If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password. 
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field. 
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password. 
Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords. 
You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords" 
If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or after reloading the login page. 
If you have problems to remember a new password then make sure that you remove all entries from that server (look for an empty name as well) and also check the exceptions to make sure that the site is not listed there.

Can't get firefox to autoupdate. It fails every time and I have followed your instructions to fix it

I can not get firefox to auto update. It down loads the update then fails when it restarts firefox every time. I have followed your instructions and it still fails. I have gone into the MS firewall and insured it is in the exceptions list as well as Trend micro systems. I would really like to get this fixed as I love your program. this is just driving me nuts. Thanks in advance for your help. Sure would be nice if you had phone support, I guess we get what we deserve when its for free.

Install over the existing install (will not lose profile).
Use another browser for this (IE, Chrome etc.)

How can I use T-bird without entering a password every time?

I just downloaded T-bird. It asks for a password each time I open the program. I tried to set up a master password so it would automatically enter the account password, but now it just prompts for the master password. How can I get the program to remember my password so I don't have to enter it? This is a home PC that no one else uses.

The master password is to protect access to any stored email account passwords. As you found out this has nothing to do with what you are trying to accomplish.
When the email password dialog box appears fill in your email password and check the box for Thunderbird to remember the password.

How can I change the settings on entering a password every time something is bought

The problem is I put the password in once and get an app for my son and it is unlocked for a number of minutes I wants it to b locked rite away! Cause he is purchasing things while it is unlocked. Is there any way to have this changed to promp with password every time something is downloaded in the future?

You can't change the time, which is 15 minutes, after which you don't have to re-enter your password, but I think that signing out of your account when you've downloaded what you want will work : Settings > Store > Sign Out . Or just wait 15 minutes before handing the phone over.

How can I get Firefox to remember my AOL sign in & password?

My wife & I use the same computer and both use AOL for Email. Both of our usernames & passwords would come up on the Email sign in page, so we could just choose the appropriate one. Then a while ago AOL made me change my password, but the password didn't change on the sign in page, so i would have to delete it each time & put in the new one. I didn't realize that the password was stored in Firefox. So yesterday I contacted AOL & they had me click on tools then options then security then saved passwords then highlight https.//my.screenname.aol.com and then delete it. So now when we go to the sign in page, only her info is there, & if I delete hers & put in mine Firefox doesn't ask If I want Firefox to remember the password. I would like to get it back to where it remembers both again. Thank you

This website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.

Hi, I'm afraid Trovi is a browser hijacker, which will mess around with Firefox. Please work through [http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/ this article] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware this article.] Hopefully one or more of the malware removers will fix it.

I always check the box asking do I want firefox to remember my user id so that I do not have to fill it in each time I go online. However, every time I go to these same websites, it never remembers my id. Is there a setting that I am overlooking to prevent this from happening?
