How do I enable the 'Remember passwords for site' box?

The box and details are greyed out, no way to tick/enable option. How do I get this enabled please?

I do NOT have 'Private Browsing' enabled.
I am wanting to save passwords and Firefox is being very unfriendly at the moment. I appreciate someone helping me bring Firefox to its senses. :)
Thanks.

The "remember passwords for sites" box is graytone and I cannot click on it. How can I save password?

Firefox... Using Windows 7 -- Tools --> Options --> Security Cannot click on "Remember Passwords for Sites", only on create Master Password. What might be wrong? Thank you

otherwise you could try to reset firefox and see if this makes a difference (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

How do I add "exceptions" to the "remember passwords for sites" feature in Tools/Options/Security?

I like when FireFox remembers and automatically posts user names and password when I go on to most sites. But there are some I do not wish to automatically be posted. However, when I select "Exceptions" within the Tools/Options/Security/Remember Passwords For Sites pathway, all I can do is see the sites that are exceptions. This facility doesn't seem to allow you to add a site (which would then become an exception). Please advise.

Tools > Options > Security > Passwords: Exceptions
Include those that you do not want to save passwords for, such as those regard banks, credit cards, or other financial institutions.
To remove one already created use the "Saved Passwords" on that dialog,
after supplying master password (twice if you view passwords),
:Select the site and use "Remove" to remove the unwanted password.
:Certainly hope you do assign a Master Password to provide some protection to your passwords.
I like that '''about:permissions''' noted by xr417, it does same as above, but allows you to modify something already in system easier. Don't think I've seen that before. Did a search on bank and found an old account/password -- don't even want an old one there.

Firefox will NOT remember passwords although I've checked the "Remember Passwords for Sites" option.

The question is just as I posed it - Firefox forgets to keep the passwords for sites, even after I'm prompted to do so each time a site is opened.

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 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.

I can't turn off "Remember passwords for sites." It keeps coming back on.

No matter how many times I uncheck "Remember passwords for sites" it keeps coming back on.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Why is my saved Facebook password not used when both "Permanent Private Browsing" and "Remember Passwords for Sites" are enabled?

After entering and saving my Facebook user name and password, the data is not used for subsequent entries into the application after the browser is reset. "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked, but the data is only used if I do NOT have "Permanent Private Browsing enabled. Why does "Permanent Private Browsing" effect passwords? (Note: Facebook is NOT in the "Passwords / Exceptions..." list.)

I agree that password protection may be considered important by some for Private Browsing, however if that is the intention, then it would be one of the delineated items such as...remember browser history, remember download history, etc. that are check-listed under that function. Also, having a separate Passwords option implies that their functions are mutually exclusive and therefore should function independent of one another.
Thanks for your response.

Firefox is not remembering passwords for sites that i visit regularly. Ihave checked the box "remember passwords for sites" in the security tab under tools, but the passwords are not being remembered when I return to the sites.

I click the x it doesn't close..I click 'not now'..'never remember password for this site'..nothing..it wont disappear..If I minimize the window it can disappear until I move the mouse towards the top of the window and it comes back..any ideas?..bug maybe?

Sorry, the place I need to delete my account is in system. I no longer have an account with Facebook, my 14 days are gone. Yet I can not delete a Facebook address from my account. Will let me remove my real email, but not facebooks.

How to bring up the "remember password" AGAIN on a site?

I have not clicked the "remember password" then I click outside it that box and it is gone. I tried searching for answers and some say that I should click the "key" near the back button, but there's no "key" present in there. I just recently made that account and I forgot my password so I want it to show up and I can log-in to that site again.

hi Gryse, in the scenario you've described it is not possible to bring up the remember password dialog again, also firefox won't even have your credentials in memory anymore (your login status on the site is stored in a cookie that the website has set on your computer).
please contact the account settings on the website and see if they offer to change the password or send a reset link to a mail address used to register or else contact the support of the website.

How do i enable the diagnostic pages for OER 11.1.1.3.0?

I'm currently trying to enable the diagnostic pages for OER 11.1.1.3.0. In the documentation the following is stated:
In Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g release, Oracle Enterprise Repository Diagnostics page is disabled, by default. Navigate to http://host_name:port/application_name/diag/index.jsp (replace host_name with the appropriate location).*
When you open the Diagnostics page in the default mode, the following message is displayed:*
Diag pages are currently disabled. Please contact your Oracle Enterprise Repository Administrator.*
To enable the Diagnostics page, the vm-argument diagPagesEnabled parameter must be set to true when the system is started.*
It is recommended to only enable when necessary and disable once the system is running without any issues.*
But with which argument do i place the diagPagesEnabled_ parameter on the startup arguments of my managed server?

Already found the answer.
Didn't see the setOERdomainEnv.sh within the ${DOMAIN_HOME}
In there is the option OER_DIAG_OPTION. Only needed to remove the *'#'* and restart the server.
+# The following option is disabled by default. Enable this parameter in order to enable the OER Diagnostic pages+
OER_DIAG_OPTION="-DdiagPagesEnabled=true"*

Why am I now getting messages about Safari remembering passwords for sites I log in on?

Why am I now getting messages about Safari remembering passwords on sites I log in on?? This has not happened in the recent past. Dale

You can disable that feature if you want.
Safari > Preferences > AutoFill

Uncheck the box for "User names and passwords".

I have set my password manager to remember passwords for sites. I have not entered any exceptions. However, it never remenbers any, nor does it prompt me to remember. I cannot use this feature because it is never visible to me. Any suggestions?

I never see any prompts which ask me if I wish to have Firefox remember my password for a particular site. Therefore I can never store any.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
