How do I get Firefix to remember my new password for Facebook?

When I first signed up for Facebook, Firefox asked if I wanted it to remember my password. I said yes. Now that I had to change my password when I sign it my old one comes up and I have to re-type my new one in each time.

Go to Tools|Options|Security. Click on the <Saved Passwords> button. A list of your saved p/w's will be displayed.
Remove the entry with your old p/w. Click on the <Close> button and then click on the <OK> button.
The next time you go to Facebook you will have to enter your user name and password. FF will display the question about saving your information just as it did the first time. Click on "Remember" and you're all set to go.

How can I get Firefox to stop saving the open tabs when it closes and reinstating them the next time it opens?

Even tho' I've set options for Firefox to delete history when it closes, it still remembers my open tabs and tries to reinstate them the next time it starts. This causes two problems: 1) it takes longer for Firefox to close, such that if I start it again a few sec later it is still running and won't restart; 2) it sometimes reopens websites I am no longer want when it next starts. The latter also makes the last sites I visited visible to the next user, which I (and I suspect most other users) want to avoid. I would like to turn this feature off since it is far more of a problem than a benefit!

@cor-el
I have the same problem.
My settings are already configured to "Show a blank page". It does show a blank page normally, but when FF crashes, it attempts to reload all the tabs from the previous session when it restarts. My version is: Firefox/3.6.13, and I'm running XP sp3 if that matters.

Firefox has stopped saving my passwords, how can I get it to save passwords again?

I have enabled passwords in microsoft, it no longer asks to save them, And inexplicably, Firefox has stopped saving my passwords, and asking to save them. How can I reenable this?

Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
*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
* Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Firefox is trying to update my 8.0 version to 9.0.1. I'm not ready to do so because the Norton Toolbar is not yet compatable with the new Firefox release. How do I get firefox to stop trying to update every time I open the application?

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

Updated Firefox is not compatible with my low vision software - Zoomtext. How can I get Firefox to stop asking me to upgrade!!

Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.

Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
see for more info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel#w_update-tab Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab]
BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive '''critical security updates that may keep you safe online''' unless you frequently do a '''manual check for updates'''.
thank you

How do I get Firefox to stop opening "Welcome to Firefox" EVERY time I open the browerser. It opens both "Wecome.." and my home page.

Every time I updated Firefox to something higher than 3.xxx, each time I open the browser, "Welcome to Firefox" and my home page opens up. How do I get "Welcome to Firefox" to stop opening? Also...all the colors are missing on the menu bar. All the text is white............Bill

Hi wbricki,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

I have advised my icloud mail to NOT SAVE my sent messages. However, it continues to SAVE ALL SENT MESSAGES. How do I get it to stop saving them?

I want icloud to stop saving my SENT messages in my SENT folder. I have NOT checked the SENT folder - but it continues to save the sent messages. Alas, how to stop it?

The iTunes sync process does not include email account mailboxes and messages.
If the account is a POP account, all received messages tha remain on the server will be downloaded as new and unread messages. Messages in the account's Sent and Trash mailboxes will not be available since these mailboxes are not stored on the server with a POP account.
If the account is an IMAP account and you were storing the account's Sent and Deleted mailboxes on the server with the account settings on your iPhone, messages in all server stored mailboxes will be available again but must be re-downloaded which will occur when a server stored mailbox is selected.
Not sure why the apps in your iTunes library that were not selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and were not on your iPhone were selected and transferred, but the apps can be removed by deselecting the apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

How do I prevent the yellow bar from appearing across the top of Hotmail emails that says, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." I DO NOT want plugin. How do I get Firefox to stop sending message?

Note: I did try to install the plugin just to see what would happen. When I clicked on "Install Missing Plugin" the next page said plugin could not be found---install manually. I clicked on manual install button and was directed to Adobe Flash Player - I already have current version of AFP installed.

How do I get firefox to stop asking me to allow personas and just let it allow them all?

I'm installing many personas but i'm tired of it asking me to allow the site all the time. Is there a way to get that to stop?

Make sure that the getpersonas.com site is listed as an install exception:
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Site Preferences'.

How do I get past the "connection untrusted" pop-up for Facebook?

For Facebook, as well as FB apps like Words with Friends and Trivia Crack, I keep getting the "Connection is Untrusted" pop-up. I have to keep going out and coming back in, many times as often as a dozen tries, before the game app or the FB home page will load. How can the sites be "untrusted" when I'm in there 20 to 30 times a day? I want to override the "untrusted" decision.

The preguntados.com site works fine for me.
Open this chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the location/address bar to open the "Add Security Exception" window and check the certificate:
* chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul
In the location field type/paste the URL of the website
* retrieve the certificate via the "Get certificate" button
* inspect the certificate via the "View..." button
Subject: CN = *.preguntados.com OU = Domain Control Validated
Issuer: Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority
Try to rename the cert8.db file (cert8.db.old) and delete the cert_override.txt file in the Firefox profile folder to remove intermediate certificates and exceptions that Firefox has stored.
If that has helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previously stored intermediate certificates.
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
