How can I make Safari and Firefox remember a password?

I changed some of my website passwords recently. In most cases, Safari and Firefox asked me if I wanted them to remember the new password, I said Yes (I'm not on a shared computer), and when I entered my email address or username, it would appear in one of those automatic boxes and bring up the correct password. However, on some websites (not all), when the remembered email address or username shows up, if I click on it I still get the old password. I've re-entered the correct password repeatedly but still have a problem: either (1) the search engine remembers and shows the email address or username but doesn't provide the correct password, so I have to delete the old one and type in the new one every time (Firefox 32.0.3 for Mac, the latest version) ; or (2) the search engine doesn't remember the email address/username even though it's asked if it should remember the new password (Safari 5.1.10), and I have to type in both.
I've searched the problem the Apple website and Firefox website but have come up empty (maybe I don't have the right search terms). Would be grateful for any help out there--entering the information every time is starting to get old....

Hi Turtlewiz,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I believe in your situation, the instructions and information in the following article would be most helpful. The iCloud Keychain preferences can be changed for Safari.
Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
How does iCloud Keychain handle websites that don't allow Safari AutoFill?
You can allow Safari to remember and autofill account names and passwords for all websites.
If you're using iOS 7.1.2 or later, Always Allow Autofill is on by default. Use these steps if you're using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
Tap Settings > Safari > Passwords & Autofill.
Turn on Always Allow. To use this feature, you must have a passcode lock on your device.
Use these steps if you're using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
Go to Safari > Preferences.
Click Passwords.
Select "Allow AutoFill even for websites that request passwords not be saved." To use this feature, you must set a screen lock for your Mac.
Have a great day,
Joe

How can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

When I have closed a PDF, how can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

Hi,
Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
3. Click on OK.
This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
change the value.

Hello. How can I make it so firefox remembers which links I've visited as on the music singles pages for longer periods of time and more links?

I frequently use the singles pages on wikipedia, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:2012_singles&from=D
So I had already clicked on the links some months ago on the 2012 singles pages, but firefox forgot that I had clicked on the links there. How can I make it so it remembers for longer periods of time without causing problems to firefox? Also, I want it to remember what links I've clicked on the 2013 singles pages, because I am also keeping up with that. Can I tell firefox to remember all history for these pages, such as 2012 singles, or 2013 singles specifically? I just want firefox to remember what links I've visited, as in, the songs in the 2012/2013 singles pages, and not forget those, because I have already downloaded those so I want firefox to keep track. What are my options? Please let me know, and I hope you understand the problem I am describing.

My Firefox remembers history from over a year ago, and unless you are using a setting or external tool to clear it, or load huge numbers of pages/download huge numbers of files, Firefox should pretty easily remember links you've accessed in recent months.
To see what Firefox has computed as the number of URLs to remember, you can check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''.hist''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for '''places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages'''
Mine's set to 104858. I don't know how that was determined.

How can I make biscuit and then break it to two parts and have some small pieces?

Hello there,
please tell me ..
How can I make biscuit in AE and then break it to two parts and have some small pieces fall down ?
any help would be so much appreciated ..

Strictly inside AE you have two options. Shatter using custom shatter maps and masking + particle effects. Neither would be as conviceing as Dave's solution.
If you have access to a 3D app (blender is free) you can do it there.
Here's a 2 minute project in AE with a stock image:
with a shot of the broken buscuit top animated to fit the split it might be kind of convincing.
Here's the CS6 AEP project file for you to play with. Take a look at all of the elements to see how this worked by selecting all layers and then pressing the u key twice to see everything I changed.

ILifeMediaBrowser makes Safari and Firefox crash all the time

Hi, Safari keeps crashing on account of iLifeMediaBrowser (which I don't know what it is), and when I tried to switch to Firefox, it did the same.
What is iLifeMediaBrowser and why is it acting out on my computer today?
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi there - sorry for the long delay in responding. I downloaded Camino and this worked fine for a couple of weeks. But then for no apparent reason this stopped working as well, just like Safari and Firefox I just got the spinning ball of death everytime I tried to open any of them. So I had a look at the Lbrary preferencies files that I have been reading about on this site. I deleted a few files and the Safari icons folder, then restarted the G5 and suddenly Safari for the first time in months kicked into life!!!! hurrrray!!! alson Camino began working again but curiously Fire fox still will not. Anyway I am really pleased. Thanks everybody for the help. If it happens again I have an idea now of what to do.
Cheers
Martin

How can I make safari automatically open a word/pdf doc after it has been downloaded?

Check Safari preference / General tab and look at the bottom of the window.

How can I make thunderbird use firefox?

I have gone to control panel and made FireFox my defualt and tried everything I could find on the internet to make FireFox the default for Thunderbird, but Thunderbird still uses I.E. 8. How can I fix this?

I have tried those suggestions, they are correct when checked. So far the only time Firefox has been opened by a link from inside of an email, ws the link to this site.

All I get in the menu bar when I open Firefox IS "Firefox"--no bookmarks, no nothing. How canI get bookmarks back and Firefox functioning.

I have used Firefox forever. (I also use Thunderbird.) When I opened Firefox all I get now in the menu bar is the word "Firefox" with the "About Firefox," "Preferences," etc. list. Nothing else. I cannot open Firefox and I cannot quit it, either. I can do nothing with it at all. How can I get it back. I need my hundreds of bookmarks.

How can I make Safari start my homepage all the time?

I don't like that Safari starts the last page that I was on everytime I run the application. How can I change this so that my default homepage is opened everytime instead?

Go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Prefrerences then select the General tab.
You can set your home page from there.
If you are running Lion v10.7, disable the Lion "resume" feature...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
BTW... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. That really helps.

How can I make Safari fast again?

My web browsing using Safari has been getting slower, and slower and slower.
First I thought it might be my DSL modem. Or my router.
Then I downloaded Firefox; much, much faster. But I want to continue to use Safari.
*So there must be something that is causing Safari to go slower.* What can I do to tweak Safari so that it runs like new again?

Try this:
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Many, including me, have had success with adding DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
Less likely, but possible, is that the slowness is caused by a Trojan such as the one called 'DNSChanger' or 'OSZ.RSPlug', which can alter the DNS settings of your network connection. This particular Trojan can be inadvertently installed if you have come across certain Quicktime movies where got a window stating that you have to download and install a particular codec in order to see the video.
If you have agreed to that installation, your system can be infected and your DNS settings altered, which results in your system using the wrong DNS servers, which can slow web surfing to a crawl.
This can be fixed by downloading and running a freeware utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool which you can download from here:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33696
Once you have run that utility you have to re-boot your Mac, then reset Safari, and re-enter your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network.
