How do I set a password to open firefox?

We use to have a password that was set to pop up on the opening of firefox. I recently updated firefox and can no longer find the place to do this again.

Firefox has a [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Protecting+stored+passwords+using+a+master+password Master Password feature]. When Firefox needs to access your stored log in information, you will be prompted for a password once per browsing session.
'''Create Master Password'''
1. Click '''Tools''' on the top of the Firefox menu bar
2. In the drop-down box, click '''Options'''
3. Click the '''Security Panel'''
4. Under Passwords, click '''Use a master password'''
5. A Change password window will pop-up. Please enter your new password twice. There will be a password quality meter to help you.

    Whenever I open AirPort Utility it tells me "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching."
    "Hard reset" the Extreme by holding its reset button in continuously, until the LED flashes amber rapidly. Connect to the open network it creates (Apple Network nnnnnn) and configure it with AirPort Utility.
    How do I set a password on my AirPort Extreme?
    AirPort Utility will prompt you for that once it finds the Extreme.

  • How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

    How can I set a password on my Mac Mini?  Someone else is reading my emails.  I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password.  Is that possible?  How?

    So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
    You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
    You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

  • How do I set my downloads to open in the finder ?

    How do I set my downloads to open?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how to 'open', view, or install something you've successfully downloaded from the internet and saved in the Downloads folder.
    I am unable to determine which operating system you are using on your MacBook. Your profile lists iOS 5, but iOS5 is for an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, not MacBook.
    Your MacBook likely has one of the OS X 'cats': 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, or 10.7 Lion. Click on the Apple icon in the top left menubar and select About This Mac to see which operating system you are using.
    If you are using OS X 10.7 "Lion", you should post your question in the OS X 10.7 Lion forum here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
    These instructions are for a Mac using OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" but the process is very similar with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    Here's one way:
    Open Finder by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of your Dock.
    Under Places in the left column, click on the 'House' icon in the left column. It probably has your name after it.
    That will open a list of file folders and files in the right column.
    Click on the Downloads folder.
    Clicking on the Name column heading in the right column will sort the file list by that column.
    Clicking on the column heading a second time will sort the file list in reverse order.
    Locate the file you want.
    Single click on the filename and press the space bar to preview many types of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and images.
    To open the file, double-click on the filename.
    If the file has the extension .dmg, it is a disk image file (program to be installed) and will open the file installer dialog. You will likely need to enter your Administrator password to install the program.

  • Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

  • "I have pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page?"

    "I have Pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page on my desktop?"

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How can I set a password containing punctuation?

    I tried this:
    alter user <user> identified by <password>;
    where <password> has punctuation. I got:
    ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
    so I quoted the password and got:
    ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)
    How do I set a password that contains punctuation? TIA.

    Thank you very much. That worked fine. I think earlier I tried using single quotes instead of double quotes, and single quotes did not work.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can I set a book to open full-page?

    I can't track the information I'm looking for, so I need to ask:
    How can I set a book to open full-page and not with the graphic table-of-contents? I'd like to lead in with a video (when the book is first launched), and have the video hand off to the copyright page, full page, not where the reader has to pick it from the graphical table of contents.
    Many thanks for your help!

    I'm a frequent user of the Reminders app but I want to set a reminder that will automatically open another app.
    Maybe I should make a suggestion to apple to include it in the next iOS update.

  • How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

    How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

    You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
    For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

  • How do I set a password on a document in pages 5.0.1?

    I know that in the old pages it was available to set a password from opening and editing documents. However, they did away with the old setting for editing, but I was wondering if pages 5.0.1 still made it available to set a password on a document when opening it.
