I did something to cause Firefox to no longer remember my password for a URL. How to convice Firebox to remember it again?

I had firefox remember my password for a website I subscribe to. I changed the password recently and firefox won't remember the changed password.

*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
*Highlight an entry in the drop down list
*Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
If the name doesn't change and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password. 
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field with the old password. 
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password via the pop-up dialog from the key icon on the location bar (Firefox 3 versions show a bar at the top).
Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered (bookmarklet)
Verify that Firefox has stored the new password.
* Firefox > Preferences > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager.

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton

I did something to cause all the picture tiles in my iphoto to be the same pic. How do I go back so each pic comes up as itself?

I did something in iphoto that turned all my picture tiles to the same picture. How do I get them to go back to each picture being itself?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Firefox 4 no longer saves my passwords on initial log-in to a website. Works in IE so it is not the website. Also worked in previous version of FF

For one website, the password is saved yet does not auto fill when I go to that website. Problem only started with FF 4. On Barnes and Noble website, after I updated to FF 4 the saved password was lost, yet did not request "do you want to remember this password" when I log on for the first time . Again in previous FF site password was saved and also auto filled when I went to that website. Neither issue happens with latest version of IE

For me, Firefox stopped even asking to save passwords. (Yes, the box to remember passwords is still checked.)
One of my passwords changed, and Firefox refused to accept the change, so I deleted that password from my list of saved passwords, expecting that it would ask to save it again. After that, it stopped asking to save passwords for ANY sites. (There are no sites in my exceptions list.)
I posted on the help website (getsatisfaction), but apparently that site's dead. It's been days without a reply.

FIREFOX WILL NOT CONNECT TO YOUR SERVER FOR UPDATES. HOW DO I FIX

TRYED TO FOLLOW YOUR WEB SITE TO MANUAL UPDATE FIREFOX BUT IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO YOUR SERVER. HOW TO FIX. ALSO BROWSER HAS BEEN HIJACKED HOW DO I FIX THIS. I TRY TO SEARCH FOR FIREFOX AND I END UP AT MANY DIFERANT SITES THAT I DID NOT ASK ABOUT.

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm connected to the VPN, but I can't mount or otherwise connect to the shared drive. Did you ever resolve this?

Firefox is not prompting to save password for specific user on specific site. How can I correct this?

I am using saved passwords feature. The site in question is a common webmail site. I have more than one account for this site. Usernames and passwords for each account were stored in Firefox 'Remember Passwords' feature. I unintentionally deleted one entry from the dropdown list that is displayed when I go to the site's login page. Now, when I log in to this account, Firefox will not prompt to save the password. If I display my saved passwords list, there are entries for the other accounts on this site, but none for the user account in question. The Saved Passwords 'Exceptions' list is empty. How can I get Firefox to re-prompt to save the password for this user on this site? (Note: When I speak of 'user', I am not referring to user account on the PC or a specific Firefox user profile.)

I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks

How can I get firefox to ask me to save passwords for websites and to turn back on my auto complete for webpages?

Ever since the last update of firefox my autocomplete no longer functions and firefox no longer asks me if I want to save the password for sites I visit.

"Remember passwords for sites" is shaded in the Private Browsing mode and when "Always use Private Browsing mode" is enabled.

I did something that caused me to lose my folders on my iPad

I don't know what i did but now my folders and iPad home page are gone.

Your home screen isn't gone. It cant be gone. You just don't recognize it as your home screen because your folders exploded and all over your apps are all over the place again. The suggestion about restoring from a backuo should help as long as you do have a backup that contains your latest folder structure and it is very current. Whe you restore from a backup you restore everything in that backup to the iPad.
Did you recently set and/or remove restrictions in the settings on the iPad? I ask because I once setup and then turned off restrictions on my iPad merely because I was trying to help someone with a restriction issue - and it blew my folders up and spread my apps all over 8 screens on my iPad. I was quite surprised.

Something keeps causing Firefox 4b9pre to spawn extra processes

all are firefox.exe . . . each spawned process uses ~120K RAM.. they dont go away unless i end via task manager or log off/shut down.. just cleared out 45 of em which stacked up while my computer sat running last night.. has happened a few times now

that would explain a few extra but: ive counted as many as 50 once, they are almost always 108K in size, ive completely re-installed windows twice since i first noticed this (for unrelated reasons), they seem to accumulate the longer firefox is open and do not shut down when i close ff, and this only started after i installed 4.0b9pre

How do I clear something running on Firefox which is compromising security by asking for all passwords on bank sites etc.

I believe I've got some kind of spy ware or malware running in Firefox
If I log into my Sainsburys Bank site and enter my user name and password I should be directed to a new page asking for one of 4 possible passwords before I can access my account. However after a slow connection I am asked to give ALL 4 of the passwords so something is not right as confirmed by Sainsburys.
Last night I un installed Firefox then re installed and it worked okay but this morning the same problem has occured.
Can you please advise a solution .
Yours EJH

Do you have a secure connection to your bank site? 
If that is the case then check the certificates to make sure that you are connected to your bank site. 
If you do not have a secure connection with your bank site then try to change the protocol from http: to https: in the location bar while visiting the home page of your bank and verify again by clicking the website favicon.
See [[Site Identity Button]]
If it is a phishing attempt then you should contact your bank site and inform them about that.
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Firefox is no longer retaining my passwords, especially when accessing my email. How do I re-activate my user/password retention info.?

Comcast is my email provider. Until recently, I could go to the Comcast 'start' page, select 'email' and a window would appear that had a blank 'username' and blank 'password' window. By clicking in the blank 'username' window, I would get a drop down menu of usernames, and, after selecting one, the password would automatically install in the password window. It no longer does this,(don't get the drop down menu and thus cannot get auto install of passwords) and the Comcast tech. support people tell me it's a malfunction of my browser (Firefox). How do I reactivate this feature in Firefox?

Go to Options -> Security and in Passwords Section Click "Saved Passwords" and in it Select Yahoo and Delete it.

Updated firefox wants to use an uninstalled font for dialog boxes, how to change the font?

I'm running Redhat and I just upgraded firefox from 3.0 to 17. Webpages display correctly, but the menu options and dialog boxes are empty boxes. I need to either install the font it's looking for, in which case I need to know what font it's trying to use, or tell it to use a different font. I can't read the preferences menu, either. My older version displays just fine; is there a preferences file I can copy to the new directory to fix it?

This is what the preferences menu looks like. I have tried selected various fonts that I can read, but it doesn't change what's used in the menus.

My pc is used; the previous owner's homepage is still being referred to by firefox. I am trying to reinstall for myself. How do I do this?

My boyfriend gave me his pc, an e-machine with WindowsXP, and using IE7 I believe. Then, I purchased an Android cellphone, and wanted to run Mozilla Firefox browser to link both the pc and my cell together. For some reason, this doesn't work.

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

When I click a mailto link in Firefox, it no longer opens a window for me to write and send the email in Thunderbird (which is my default email app and is open all the time).

Not sure. Possibly since I got a new laptop with Win 7 or maybe since my last Firefox update. I usually have a very current version of Firefox and Thunderbird. My laptop is 64 bit.

Check the value under Tools -> Options -> Applications, filtering for '''mailto''', and make sure it is set to Thunderbird.

Since upgrading to 29. Firefox snags with a beachball that spends for seconds. How can I prevent the snag?

There were two upgrades very close together. I upgraded and now have 29.0. No matter whether I'm going to an address, typing into a box, or waiting for a website to load, the Mac "beach ball" will spin for a few seconds before loading. I use the default theme. I have minimal - (Xmarks and Trend micro), which weren't a problem before. Is there something I can do besides disabling the add-ons?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've never used pastebin. I've copied the information there. Is there an address I need to use to send it or something?
