I just downloaded Firefox 4. However, it is not remembering any of my passwords, even if I mark the "Remember me" box. I have to re-enter my usernames and passwords everywhere! How can I get Firefox to remember my passwords again?
See original question...
Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie that you must allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing

I got a new macbook pro but i have lost some music, tv shows and films. How can i get them back?
Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

When I updated firefox to 4.0 the only things that really changed were a couple of buttons and the position of the tabs, the blue navigation bar and the drop down menus for file etc didn't change at all.
My computer also freezes when visiting certain websites with firefox, not Every time I visit but frequently. The websites are usually commonly visited websites (Gmail, stuff.co.nz) and don't do it when I am using internet explorer or another computer. This started when I downloaded the upgrade.
I use a net-book with Windows XP.To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them. -
My images are not related to the converted catalog, only preview works, tags and other information is given, but the (network) path to the original images is missing and is substituted by a local path with c:\. How can I solve the problem automatically ?
I actually need to apply this to at least a couple different layouts. Two exampled below (The outlined boxes are text areas, the black boxes where the product images will go.)
I prefer InDesign5, but I have 6 too. -
I was having trouble and some Technician came into my computer and put me on Mozilla Firefox, with Window LiveMail along with my AOL email address so I wouldn't have to change it, I've had it for years with Window XP, it works well but I'm 81 yrs old, and don't comprehend like I used too, the only thing I think will help me more is to use Mozilla Firefox tool bar along with my Aol tool bar, hope you can help me, I can't figure out new things anymore but there are time when they say the tool bar will say one thing but I can't find it on AOL tool bar
You're welcome.

yahoo states that I cannot utilize email chat or messenger unless I have Firefox 8. How can I get Firefox 8? I downloaded 9 and now can't chat with friends and family in Yahoo...**sigh**
Hi Tgordineer,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps! -
How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??
Hello,
That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]. -
Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0. -
How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it. -
How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on: http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem. I have recently switched over to Apple. Thanks for your help!
FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password. It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request. There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).

In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?
In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.
This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.
When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedFirefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
