How do I make Firefox ask me again if I want to save a password for a website when I've already told it no?

I go to a website and login to it.
Firefox asks me if I want to save the password.
I say No.
Later, I decide that I do want Firefox to save the password to that website.
How can I make Firefox ask me if I want to save that password again?
The website is not listed in the (Options \ Security \ Passwords \ Exceptions) list.

Only if you choose "Never" then an exception is created.
Otherwise Firefox should offer to save the password on the next visit.
Did you look for the presence of a key like icon at the left end of the location bar?

Thank you any help would be help full as every time I log into Face Book for example I have to provide all the Information and this is a pain
Cheers Alex

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

Question...
I want Firefox to ask me if I want to save this password for login purposes. It did that with the first 3 sites i went to... but now it stopped asking!
I've gone to several DIFFERENT websites that require a login and in ALL instances since the first 3 it saved... I don't get the popup window asking if I want to save the password.
How do I get that feature back????
Thanks...

Hi seraphim99,
You will get that [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4_quittabs.png Quit Firefox message] "Do you want to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" [Save and Quit] [Quit] [Cancel] if you follow what is currently step 31 in the link I had provided [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost Restoring tabs from a lost session] (#tabslost)
Which indicates as follows: (boldface is user set)
* browser.showQuitWarning user set boolean true
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose default boolean true
* browser.warnOnQuit default boolean true
* browser.warnOnRestart user set boolean true
Links were included there for assistance with '''about:config''' for those that don't know how to change configuration variables, along with additional reference for that and so that other similar questions of making Firefox 4 look/act like Firefox 3.6.17 would also be answered particularly the items in the first 10 steps in the same area. Which was addressed by the following part of my original reply
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic ["http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)].
I don't know if you looked at the web page or not, but I've highlighted some additional words there to try to make the webpage more clear to others in the future.
Hope that Helps

Why doesn't my iMAC (Safari) always ask to save my password for a website?

Many of my old websites have a saved password on the Safari preferences. But lately no new sites have asked me "if i want to save the password to this site".
My settings in Safari have not changed.. Any ideas what causes this and how to change set up to always ask to save my password?
Thank you,
VA

The OP doesn't say they are having problems with their old websites.
Many sites delibertly code their login web pages so passwords won't be saved. I don't know how to determine this.
Now, if you are having a problem with an old website that previously worked. It may not because the keychain is outdated.
This is a real pain. Especially when I deleted a bunch of keychains, yet when I go back to safari and type username and asswords, I don't get a prompt to save them. At least at login.yahoo.com
What is the chance of safari getting changed to remember all entered data regardless of how the login webpage is encoded? I have heard third party applications do this. It shouldn't be website determined. Shared computers - no saving, most other cases, up to user.
Now instead of my passwords safe in the keychain, I have to save them somewhere else. A lot more inconvient and insecure.

How do I save a password for a website that I previously rejected?

I have decided to save my passwords using Autofill. Problem is I have visited about a hundred sites, logged in and declined to save the login info. Is there a way to change that so I can save the login info for sites that I have previously declined? Do I simply remove the website from the list (under Preferences/Password) or is there another method?
Thanks;
Bruce

Open Keychain Access located in Applications > Utilities
Select oo on the left.
Type in the name of a website you want to autofill the password for.
Then right or control click that keychain then click Get Info > Attributes
Right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari > Preferences then select the Passwords tab.
Make sure: AutoFill user names and passwords is selected.
Visit the site you just deleted the keychain for. Enter your login user name and password.
Click Yes when prompted to save that information to a new keychain. The next time you visit that site, it should autofill for you.
Do the same for other sites.

On V4.0, I am unable to get Firefox to save my passwords for critical websites I use frequently. I have followed the recommended procedures to insure that I am asking Firefox to remember passwords.

I have gone to tools, options, security and have made sure that remember passwords is checked, but I never get the request to save the passwords when accessing websites requiring username and password. I am using Windows 7 Operating System.

I spent hours trying to remedy this yesterday but eventually discovered that if you click twice (not a double-click) in the slot, Firefox shows your name and password. So many things not functioning and/or unexplained in Firefox 4.

I lost the usernames and passwords for my websites when I installed Firefox 4. How do I recover them?

I bookmarked frequently used websites. Many of which had secure user names and passwords. I used firefox, norton and roboform to remember the user names and passwords. All of these were lost when I upgraded to Firefox 4. I need to recover the usernames and passwords. I also want to use these features going forward. What do I do?

Figured it out. Just gotta delete keychain.plist, which is found in one of the following two spots:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\keychain.plist
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Apple Computer\Preferences\keychain.plist

I want to save existing passwords for a reinstall of Firefox

Firefox 14.2.0, Slackware 64-bit 14.1.
My user account contains Firefox data from the initial release of Firefox (some years ago). I want to completely remove the Firefox directory tree and start fresh (there's a lot of stuff in there that I don't give a hoot about and it's getting out of hand). But, I do want to save log in and passwords from the existing installation so I don't have to manually reenter them in a clean install. I don't care about browsing history or download history, just the log in and password data for external sites.
How can I do that?
Also, is there any way to separate browsing history and download history? They are combined in this versions (annoying -- I don't give a hoot about download history). Used to be they were separate, now they're combined.
I don't have any problem manually editing prefs.js if that's what it takes but I'd appreciate a hint or two in the right direction.
Thanks.

See the following article:
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|What information is stored in my profile?]]
''signons.sqlite'' and ''key3.db'' are needed to backup your passwords.
''places.sqlite'' keeps your bookmarks and browser history.
To get rid of download history,
# Press Ctrl+Shift+B to open the Library.
# Click the Downloads category on the left.
# Click the Clear Downloads button on the top toolbar.
To automatically clear download history, try the Download Cleaner add-on.

How do I save a password for a website that I previously rejected in WINDOWS Safari?

I have found a lot of info on how to reverse a "NEVER" reply to keychains request to save a Name and Password for future AutoFill, but not for Windows version of Safari. How can I do that?

Hi..
Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari
Use either IE or Chrome instead.

How can I make Firefox ask for the master password if the PC has been idle?

If I leave the browser open it retains all the passwords even if the pc goes into sleep mode.

Try Master Password Timeout: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1275

How can I turn off asking me to save a password when I NEVER want to save a password ever anywhere?

I am using my work computer to log into gmail, aol, etc. via Firefox. And because of security, I NEVER want Firefox to save a password for any website I log into. Consequently, every time I log into anything via Firefox I get that annoying drop down menu asking if I want to save the password, never save the password or not now. If there a way for me to turn this off completely and stop asking me that and NEVER save a password?

Check a setting.
#click either:
#*Firefox button > Options > Options > Security
#*Tools > Options > Security (if using the Menu Bar)
#if "'''''Remember passwords for sites'''''" is checked, un-check it

Downloaded new 4.0 today and decided to download and sync mobile to my HTC EVO 4g which seems to work but how do I make Firefox the homepage on phone?

Have had Firefox for years on my mac and works great. Downloaded today new 4.0 on desktop mac OS 10.6.7 and works great. Have sync and decided to follow instructions to download Firefox to my HTC EVO 4G. Seemed to download correctly and did get the 3 part key and entered fine. Firefox icon shows up with icon in list of All apps and will work if clicked upon.
But, how do I make Firefox my home page on my phone? When I select magnifying glass key on glass I go to standard google homepage I've had since day one. I'd like to go directly to Firefox as I do on the desktop.

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

How do I MAKE Firefox remember passwords

I like Firefox..... I like the new version of Firefox. I DESPISE having the enter library card numbers and passwords every time.....
HOW do I get Firefox to store this information?
YES, FF is set to store passwords. NO, there's no exception.
I'm finding it VERY hard to believe the library is security conscious enough to make their software refuse to let me store the card numbers, so HOW do I MAKE FF ask for the information and keep the information?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

How can I get FireFox to stop asking me if I want to save a password?

I DO NOT want ANY internet entity saving my webpage passwords. Mozilla/FireFox insists on asking me if I want to save my password to a webpage. How do I get it to STOP asking me if I want to save a password?

Yes! Thank you! Simple and easy to follow instructions. AND it worked. Cannot ask for more than that!
Thanks again!

How can I make Firefox recognise that I have changed the DNS servers to use?

After I edit /etc/resolv.conf to make my computer use more reliable DNS servers, Firefox doesn't notice until I restart it. How can I make Firefox notice the change without restarting it?

I discovered that I can do this by ticking Work Offline in the File menu, and then immediately unticking it again.
(I believe this mimics what would happen if the operating system disconnected and reconnected from a wireless network, which would be a situation where Firefox would need to check for new DNS servers. So that explains why it works.)

How do I make Firefox ask me again if I want to save a password for a website when I've already told it no?
