I tell firefox not to remember passwords for certain sites, and it forgets when I exit

I'm running 3.6.9 on Win7. I have chosen the setting of remembering passwords for websites. However, for certain sites I choose "never to remember passwords" and this used to work fine in earlier versions. Now, whenever I exit firefox these sites for which I do NOT want to remember passwords are forgotten about, and every time I visit them after a restart I have to instruct firefox that I don't want to remember passwords there, etc. It's getting awfully tedious. What changed? How do I ensure that my password "exceptions" are remembered between sessions?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" in "Clear Recent History" will remove exceptions that are stored in content-prefs.sqlite (site specific settings for zoom) and permissions.sqlite (exceptions for images, cookies, pop-ups, software; Tools > Page Info > Permissions) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
The password exceptions (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Show Passwords) are also removed from signons.sqlite.

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
Thankx

You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)

Remembering passwords for certain sites

I have an iPad with iOS 4.2.1, brand new (2 days old). I notice in Safari that passwords are saved for sites where the username/password are entered on the page.
However, for sites that have you enter the username/password in a popup dialog box, they do not save, nor is there any option to save them.
Yes, I do have "Names and Passwords" turned on in Options.
This is terribly inconveinent, as some sites I use do not allow me to pick my own login credentials, and they are not easily remembered.
Is there a solution to this?

I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I deleted the password from the view password window.

The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

Set Firefox not to remember passwords.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: [] "Remember passwords for sites"
If you've already saved passwords then remove saved Password(s) here:
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" (Show Passwords)

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.

I asked firefox to remeber a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

I asked Firefox to remember a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

The left side of the address bar contains a button you can click to get information about that site. The button usually has a little mini-icon for the site and (if it's an encrypted site) the site's name. When you are on the site in question, click that button then click the "More Information" button on the dialog that appears. Alternatively, you can use the Tools menu and click "Page Info". Once you do that (either way) click the "Security" tab at the top and you will be able to click a button to view saved passwords for that site. Delete the incorrect password from that list. You can then log off the site and log back on to have Firefox offer to remember the new password.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
* Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

PWMgr. won't ask to remember password for one site; it used to. It works on Safari. How do I get it to ask?

Mac OS 10.4.11, PowerBook G4. Broadband connection.
It used to remember the user name and password for this one site I use daily; suddenly it would put in user name but not fill in password. Neither one shows up on Password Manager.
I know it's not the site since Safari remembers both.
How can I restore the password?
Thanks

Thank you but I tried the bookmarklet twice; no dice. I downloaded password editor but I must be doing something wrong since I try to add the username & password and it doesn't stick.
Autocomplete is on and works for every other site (& on Safari). This particular site will autocomplete my name (that is if I type in the first letter it shows an option) and it used to then automatically add the password.
Help!

Firefox will not load radio buttons on certain sites and I can't show my choice of items without the ability.

I have gone to bill pay and ordering sites and have found, what we used to call, radio buttons to mark a choice are not loading. For those that have no idea what I am talking about, Survey sites, bill pay sites and shopping sites use a round button that when clicked on, it shows your choice. These are not loading in the new Firefox and I have had to revert much of my work to Internet Explorer now. Up to this point, I have been impressed with Firefox. Can you restore the confidence and smile on my face?

Can you post a link to sites where the radio buttons aren't working?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
