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 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.

  • How do you get Firefox to ask for proxy username password in a pop up window?

    Previously, about a month ago a pop up message would appear when I would connect to my University's wired network proxy to ask me for my password. In Chormium Browser the following message pops up when I log in http://tinypic.com/r/i77lhi/8. A similar thing used to happen in Firefox, but doesn't anymore. I know it is not my proxy settings that are incorrect as I have double checked them and it is only in Firefox that it fails. I have Firefox set to use system proxy settings and this is the setting that is dictated by the University. It is very possible that I changed a setting while tinkering that prevents such message boxes from appearing or uses an old username and password automatically, but I haven't been able to find anything like this.
    Help would be greatly appreciated! I am completely stuck on this.
    Thanks

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Did you fail to back up your pics?
    The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
    You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

  • How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

    I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

    *See [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
    ** You should be able to choose to open .pdf files with Adobe. <br />Use Menu Button {Three bar icon) -> Options {cog icon) -> |Applications|

  • I accidentally clicked "do not ask me this again" about forcing an extension change when downloading. How do i get firefox to ask me this again?

    I was using download helper and a box usually pops up that asks me if i want to force an extension change. I clicked the wrong box and then clicked "do not ask me this again". I would like to get the box back so i can change the setting.

    This could be a setting in the add-on. In some cases, you can access an add-on's setting from its icon on the Add-on Bar. In other cases, you can access it from here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Look for the add-on's "Options" button
    Any luck?

  • 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.

  • How do I get Firefox on my Nook Tablet? I can't find "applications" in the tools as the Amazon download tells me to look for for a Kindle download. Somehow I managed to turn on Java but I can't even figure out how I found that anymore??

    I'm not very tech savy and this Nook is new to me.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're having this problem.
    See this post for the answer:

  • How do i get itunes to ask me for my password after downloading an app?

    pretty simple, when i download an app it just doenloads automatically. i want itunes to ask me for my password but it wont?

    By default, the App Store will request your Apple ID password once, and then for the next 15 minutes (or so, I beleive), it will not require it again.  If you want to change that behavior, enable restrictions (making sure to memorize the passcode you create), and change the default to 'Immediately'.

  • I want to open new tabs with other ones open. So I click the + button for tabs and it does nothing. I right click and click new tab and still nothing. How do I get that feature to work again.

    I click the + button to open a new tab and it doesn't do anything, not even open a new tab. I try to right click and open a new tab and still don't work. But if I right click a link and click open in new tab it will work. How do I get to open my tabs again with the + button?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Why does Firefox now ask for my master password every time I check my gmail account? Sometimes, but not always, for my Yahoo mail account. Never did this before. Thank you.

    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.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    * 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.
