How does one stop Firefox asking to update password on secondary signin pages?

Many websites use both a user name/password and a 'secret question' for sign in. The second part usually involves entering the answer to a randomised question, like 'mother's maiden name'; 'place of birth' etc.
Whenever this happens, Firefox asks if I want to update the password it stores. Obviously I don't because it will be changing my actual password, and the answer will be different the next time anyway. This happens on every sign in and there's no way I can see to tell Firefox not to; the only options are to update or 'not now'
I still want Firefox to remember the main user name and actual password, so how do I prevent it from asking about these pseudo passwords without disabling its recording of the main login details?

Thank you, philipp, that did the trick. I'm not sure that should be the preferred way of handling the problem though! Surely Firefox is clever enough to make some distinctions.....
Ah well. Had better spend a little time blocking all my affected sites.
Thanks again.

  • How does one stop Firefox from opening at login ?

    I have Firefox opening up at login even though the 'open at login is unchecked'. I had firefox 'open at login'checked for a week. Now I do not want firefox to 'open at login'.
    I have unchecked 'open at login' and I still get Firefox opening up at login. How can I stop the firefox box opening after login. Any suggestions?

    Thankyou. I looked it up in the "help" menu and tried what was suggested there and it worked. I have also followed your direction - System Preferences>accounts>login items and deleted the firefox entry. Cheers

  • How does one get Firefox to install 1 Password extension?

    When I download the installer, a pop-up says it cannot install because "Firefox cannot modify the needed file". What is the needed file and how can I change the file so that it will install on Firefox?

    This will happen if you install an Add-on that needs to be unpacked in order to function properly.
    Normally Firefox installs the XPI file and modifies its name, but if an extension needs to modify a file in its file structure or otherwise only works when unpacked (e.g. a dictionary) then you can get this error if the add-on doesn't get unpacked.
    Extensions that need to be unpacked should have an unpack instruction in its install.rdf file: <em:unpack>true</em:unpack>
    You can temporarily toggle the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if that helps to install the extension.

  • How can I stop Firefox asking me to update to a newer version?

    It seems like every couple of days, I get a message from Firefox telling me I should update to a newer version. I don't want to do that. I'm happy with the version I have. How can a stop these messages, other than going to Safari (I'm a Mac user).

    Why Man?
    Upgrade to firefox 4. You will be amazed to see its performance.
    37,822,332 Users are using it and it is still counting.
    Anyway if you want your current version, then do this:
    # Press Alt+T
    # Click on Options
    # Go to Advanced Panel
    # Go to Update tab
    # Uncheck the box Automatically check Updates to Firefox
    See if it works.

    When we have an ID file open in CS6 and make a Photoshop edit, the link seems to auto-update. We don't like this as we'd rather 'watch' the update so if comes in as expected, etc.. Can one turn off link auto-update? Thanks!

    Are you making the edit by selecting the graphic frame and then choosing Edit Original? This will always auto-update.
    If that's not it, you might try clicking Preferences > General > Reset All Warning Dialogs

  • How can I stop Firefox from remembering a password for a site, so anyone on a shared computer can't use it?

    Someone who used our home computer must have clicked "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" when using one of my shopping sites. So now when I try to sign in to that site, the password and email are already filled in, and I just have to click. Anybody can do that and I want to stop it. Tried changing the password, but it was no good.

  • Serious SEO problem--How does one apply SEO description, keywords etc. to catalog and product pages?

    I'm working with the BC template TRIBECA. It comes with 2 page templates. I used one of the templates to create the catalog and product pages. Now I'm stuck with a single description tag and keyword tag for SEO purposes. Is there a workaround other than creating multiple template pages, one for each catalog and product page?
    UPDATE- I mistakenly mentioned I used template to create product pages. Actually product pages are created with a template but not one you can choose. This mystery template uses 2 h1 tags which is an SEO no,no. How do I remove one of the h1s?

    You should be able to ammend that layout by going to your Admin>>Site Manager>>Module Templates>>Online Shop Layouts.
    All the necessary files will be there. I suspect it is the Overall Layout and Individual Product - Large you are after...
    You can also make use of custom 1,2,3 and 4 tags for extra descriptions etc as BC will automatically render meta tags in the corect spot if they are included in the layout.
    ...also, note that when creating a catalog, you can add a title and description...
    ...and you can create custom layout templates too>> refer to this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/using-custom-templates-modules.html

  • How do i stop Mail asking for Keychain password?

    I have my Keychain set up with a password.
    I'd like to allow Mail access to the relevant parts of the Keychain WITHOUT needing me to enter my password all the time.
    How do I do it?
    So far I've gone into Keychain Access, found my mail (IMAP & SMTP) passwords and added Mail to the list of applications to always grant access to, but it's still asking for my password.
    Could it be due to my @me.com email? If so, what do I need to grant access to as I can't see any specific IMAP/SMTP me.com passwords.
    thanks,
    donncha

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • How does one install Firefox on Windows 7 for just one user, so separate users can have completely independent Firefox installations?

    I'd like to create a new user, and install firefox for that user completely separate in all respects from the existing user's installation, so that there is no interaction at all between the two installations, with separate copies of the program files as well as separate Firefox profiles.

    I was asking about how to have multiple Windows user accounts, and how to install Firefox independently for different Windows user accounts.
    Firefox does not ask if you want to install it for everyone or just the current user, unlike many programs.
    I tried switching to the newly created Windows user account, which was able to use the Firefox installed by the other user account, and installing Firefox, and although there's no indication that it's installing a user specific copy of Firefox, it is. Now the original user account sees it's installation of Firefox and the second user account sees it's installation of Firefox and no longer runs the first users installation of Firefox.
    Creating separate Firefox profiles is what I was trying to say I didn't want to do. That's why I mentioned wanting completely separate copies of the program files, not one copy of the program files running two instances simultaneously.

  • How Does One Stop Telemarket​er Calls?

    I would like to know how to stop telemarketers from calling. I am and have been on the National Do Not Call List and have an unlisted number, yet we have been getting calls all throughout the day and night. I thought the government stated no one is allowed to call someone on the Do Not Call List or they could be fined, yet the calls are recorded with garble or music, so how can anyone do anything? If you call Verizon, they state they are allowed to call between the hours of 9-5 or something like that, but I am on the Do Not Call List, so they are not allowed to be calling, yet they do. I file the complaints with the National Do Not Call site, but I don't know what else to do. I even asked the Ellen DeGeneres & Anderson Cooper show to try and help. How can these places be fined when they can't even be stopped?
    Can this be linked to unlimited phone access where these telemarketers are calling and then somehow connecting to your number to make free calls or something else??? Otherwise what is the purpose of them calling and only having music or garble play?
    For instance (without listing their numbers), on 2-21-13, the same number called me at 3:31, 3:42, 3:53, 4:05, 4:33, 5:05, 8:45 and 8:47 at night and that is just the ones I marked down for that day - there could have been more.
    Then today, one number called at 10:45 and 11:04, and then another one called at 11:51, then another called at 12:15, then another called at 12:19 & 12:53 and then again at 5:35 pm, and then another called at 2:45 and 3:01, and then yet another one alled at 3:38 pm...and the last one SO FAR was the one at 5:35 pm. I could have missed marking some down too, so there could possibly be more.
    This is crazy and shouldn't be allowed since I thought the National Do Not Call List was made for this reason to protect this from happening to us. Is it just Verizon or maybe unlimited access customers or what???
    Any suggestions??? Thanks.

  • How can I stop Firefox asking to install things from its extension folder every time it starts up?

    This happens with both versions of Firefox 3.6.28 and 22. (I have removed the latest version because I had so much trouble with it and no, I don't want it back and I am fully aware of the dangers the old versions put me in, thank you!) I have tried to delete the things from the extension folder, but the items it is asking to install aren't in there.
    I am using XP with SP3.

    This can happen if you use the same profile folder with different Firefox versions (i.e. the version listed in compatibility.ini is different).<br />
    You should always use separate profiles for each Firefox version.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Multiple_Firefox_Profiles
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • Once and for all, how does one stop losing music on IPOD TOUCH? WHAT settings do you people use to stop losing music? Does anybody have any help with this? Does any body have any help at all? APPLE offers no help!!!!!!!!!

    I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need help to stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First of all, is the music only disappearing from your iPod, or from your iTunes Library as well?
    From your other thread, I gather you swap between Manually Managing and Syncing. This is a bad idea, it will lead to confusion on your part about what should be on the iPod. You'll make a choice that iTunes later overrides - because you've told it to. Choose one method or the other, not both.
    Peresonally, I recommend using the iTunes Sync process. Using Sync will not prevent you from deciding what's on your iPod. You will still have a free and full choice in that. The Sync process will however, make it far easier for you to put everything back onto your iPod in the event that you need to Restore your iPod, or when you replace this iPod with a newer one.
    Back to your issue though. Is the music, missing from your iPod, still in your Library?

  • How does one stop Safari for Windows from auto resetting itself?

    Safari for Windows running on XP Pro SP2 on a Dell Latitude D520
    gets its settings reset automatically somehow. Also, the saved
    userids/passwords randomly get "lost". These behaviors occur whether the
    system is left running (with Safari terminated) then Safari is
    started or when the the system is put in sleep mode (with Safari
    terminated) and Safari is started after waking the system or when
    the system is put into hibernate state (with Safari terminated) and then
    Safari is started when the system is woken from hibernation. The
    resetting and lost UIDs/PWDs is a random occurrence; it may, or may
    not, occur after any one of the three use cases described above.
    This behavior is becoming very annoying and will cause me to dump
    Safari for Windows as my patience wears thin.
    Any known solutions or suggestions will be greatly, and gratefully, appreciated.
