How do I use "saved passwords" to access a site?

I have a list of saved passwords in firefox. So what steps do I use to access the site. If I click on the saved password entry nothing happens? I want to use firefox saved passwords software. I used to use Roboform where I had a list of logins and just clicked on the entry and the username/password was entered automatically. Can firefox do this, too? If so tell me how to do it? Where's the list of logins in firefox that I can click on and have the username & password filled in from the saved list? My windows XP/pro died so I had to transfer data to Win7. Some of my Roboform data was lost so I am starting over and want to use Firefox software for username/password to access sites similar to the way Roboform works? Tell me how?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.org/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"
You can also check the signon.autofillForms pref on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

I have two iPads and giving one to my grandson. Using my Apple id for both, can we use different passwords to access our "own" apps. Also I don't want the downloaded App to go to both iPads. Been looking for hours for an explanation! Thanks for any help.

Hi, I have answered no to the question about saving password for one spesific site. I have changed my mind and would like Firefox to save the password. How do I reactivate the password saver for one spesific site?

Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Firefox icon disappeared, have to use Internet Explorer to access web sites. Although I can get into Yahoo home page, am unable to open e-mail account.

Turned on computer this am and firefox icon not there. Used Internet Explorer to access web sites. Was able to access my Yahoo home page but not able to open my e-mail account. I am not savvy enough to change settings by myself, so I really need help.
Thank you

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny

How can I use ONE password that serves to open up multiple mozilla functions instead of entering & reentering password?

Firefox just reset itself. Before that, I could enter a safety site, type in 1 password, and thereafter have my username and gmail password automatically display in yellow - saving my entering those two items each time. Since the Firefox reset, I can't figure out how to reset Firefox or Google or whoever it is to do what it used to do. Thanks

How to see the saved password in safari of iPad 3 ?

PLease help me how can I see the saved password in iPad 3 safari.

You can't, for obvious reasons (think of spying for another person's sensitive data). All you can do is deleting them.

How to view/modify saved passwords

It seems impossible to view or change individual saved passwords. The only way seems to delete all of them.
Is there another way?

Hello @Fffred,
The only way you can modify or view passwords on android firefox is through a plugin.
''"There's no option for viewing saved passwords on your mobile you have to use add-ons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/mobile-password-manager/ if you wish to save your password and view it in the future."''

I hope this helps.

Under Tools/Options/Security how to print out Saved Passwords screen?

.. there's seems to be no provision for printing out the screen. Can you instuct me how?

You can use the Password Exporter extension to export the passwords to an XML or CSV file and print this file.
* Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

How to change a saved Password?

I mistyped a password for an account not he Internet - and saved it. Now when I go to the sign-in page, my username and the incorrect password pop-up. If I change the password to the correct one, it lets me sign on, but does not update the saved password. How do I get it to do that?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
If you need to remove an incorrect saved password, you can go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill > Saved Passwords. There you will see a list of the passwords saved in Safari, where you can then tap Edit, and then delete a selected entry. Next time you log in to that website, you can then save your new password.

Take care,

How do I backup saved Passwords?

I can no longer save my saved passwords as an xml file.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

One last thing. In the event that the passwords information is lost, you
should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else
on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if
you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking
at that file, you can compress it using a password.

How do I reset my password for accessing email?

I just want to change my password for accessing my email in Firefox, but can't figure out how to do that- please tell me what are the steps? Thank you.

Don't reset your password if it is working everywhere else. Try this first.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

I can't find anything that tells how to get my saved passwords and open tabs back after syncing.

I had to have my work computer restaged. I synced my FF before I turned my computer over to tech services. When I got my computer back and downloaded FF, I signed back into sync. But my saved passwords are not showing. I have all of the items listed in the sync menu checked (passwords, open tabs, bookmarks, etc). I finally fumbled around and got my bookmarks back and I am not as concerned with my open tabs as I am with my passwords. Thanks!
