I cannot activate the "remember passwords of visited sites.

The choice remains grey when I try to check the box and activate the option. I am running an old 386 tower with a freshly reinstalled Vista OS and Firefox 17.0.1.

Hello rbbeck32, be sure you don't running firefox in private browsing, go from Firefox button > Options > Options> Privacy > '''''un-check''''' Always use private browsing mode.
thank you

I cannot close the 'remember password' window

When Firefox asks me if I would like it to remember the password for a particular site (including this one, as it happens) it is impossible to make the 'remember password?' window go away.
Clicking on 'Remember' doesn't do anything. Nor does clicking on the 'close window' cross in the corner. Nothing makes the window go away and it just stays there, in front of the menus and icons, until I close and restart Firefox.
This has been a problem since Firefox 4 and is still not fixed in Firefox 6.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.
See:
* "Troubleshooting" in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox.
If you see passwords in the Password Manager (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords > "Saved Passwords") then you can save the existing passwords with the Password Exporter extension before removing the files and re-import them afterward.

I cannot activate the colour change for "Visited" and "Unvisited" links

I've been to Firefox "Tools" and specified the colors for "Visited" and "Unvisited" sites but it doesn't happen. What am I doing wrong?

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

The "remember passwords for sites" box is graytone and I cannot click on it. How can I save password?

Firefox... Using Windows 7 -- Tools --> Options --> Security Cannot click on "Remember Passwords for Sites", only on create Master Password. What might be wrong? Thank you

hello dhannay, do you use a norton security product by any chance? it might interfere with the firefox password management...

otherwise you could try to reset firefox and see if this makes a difference (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

How do I save the password for a site for which I have chosen the "never remember password for this site" option?

The first time you enter a password for a site a box pops up under the address bar that has a picture of a key and then the question: "Remember this password?". In the drop box, I chose the option "Never Remember Password for This Site". I can't figure out how to change it so that the password IS remembered.

It sounds like the printer is still trying to retain the old network information.
Try a Hard Reset:
* Unplug printer while unit is turned on
* Unplug other end of power cord from the direct wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back up for power
Reset Network information to Default:
* Press the Wrench/Setup menu button in the top right of the touch display of the printer
* Select the Wireless menu option
* Scroll down to Restore Network Defaults
After restoring the defaults, then try running the Wireless Setup Wizard. Let me know if the unit still does not retain the information.

Does Safari store passwords if the 'Remember password' box is unchecked?

For security reasons, I want to know if when I enter my hotmail password in Safari, and do NOT check the 'Remember password' box, whether Safari still stores this password in its Form Values file or elsewhere.
I've searched online for days and can't find an answer; hope someone here can shed light!
Thanks

Two ways to store a password.
Keychain or a cookie.
The "remember me" is a cookie and you can search and delete it if needed.
The Keychain is under the control of that user account and is password protected.
Both methods should protect your data as long as you have some type of "log on" when starting your computer. If your Mac has only one account and you've set it up to automatically log in then other (very smart) people could view the cookie file. But most of them scramble sensitive data and even a smart user would find it difficult to find.
Tiger's version of Safari also include a "Private Browsing" feature (under the Safari menu).

We have a Canon SX40Hs and cannot activate the digital zoom function. can you help?Thanks

We have a Canon SX40Hs and cannot activate the digital zoom function. I have tried changing the mode from Auto to "P" to "Tv" etc and the dig zoom function is greyed out and not accessible. Any help?
Thanks

Actually, this is a friend's camera, but yes, I went to the menu and when I got to the digital zoom option, it is greyed out (not accessible). That is the problem. I shoot in the EOS line so figured maybe there was a custom function somewhere that was causing the problem, but Power shot line apparentley doesn't have custom functions. Thought maybe digital zoom is only availabel in certain modes (pernaps not available in "green square"), but changing mode didn't seem to make it accessible either. I am just not familiar with the powershot cameras so ... any other suggestions?

I cannot activate the Windows.

I bought a new Dell inspiron 2 weeks ago. One day all the default apps disappeared with no reason. I went to my university technology center for help, and they reinstalled the windows 8 for me.
However, the computer I bought is pre-installed with window 8.1. But now my computer is windows8. Here is the problem. I cannot activate the windows. And I could not find product key for my windows because Dell said it was injected in the computer.
What should I do now?

Why the restart firefox bubble does not show after installing an addon and the remember password bubble is closed (not now x)?

When I go to a post login page, firefox offers to remember password.
If this bubble is ignored (by pressing the x or by choosing the Not now option) and i download an add-on on that page that requires browser restart, the bubble of "restart now" which should get triggered after the installation of the add-on is not shown.
Note: If i press on Remember password or never remember password on this site, the restart bubble shows.

Possibly you could explain carefully what happens, listing the steps you take.
As a test/example Would you be able for instance to recreate the problem with this forum as a login site with a password. And with for example this add-on

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!

I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

@the-edmeister
Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
Great to have Sync. :)

I would like to undo the 'remember password' feature on mozilla.

I used the 'remember password' on my daughter's computer but now want to remove this as I do not want her to have access to my yahoo email. How can I remove this?

Take a look at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Remembering+passwords?s=password&as=s#Viewing_and_deleting_passwords]. It will show you how to view the saved password and delete it
