Must make firefox stop autoloading password! Help! Tools/Clear/Form option won't let me disable

Every time I tried in the past to sign on to gmail, Firefox asked me if I wanted my sign-in info remembered. I said "never for this site." But the damned pop up kept coming up and I hit the wrong button or something. Now it automatically signs me on to gmail, which would be great if I didn't have 4 nosy office mates. I can't figure out how to stop it. Tools to Clear won't let me checkmark Search & Form History! I don't know what to do.

The user name can be stored as form data, but passwords are never stored as form data, only as name and password in the Password Manager and you can use a master password to protect passwords stored in it.
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Protecting+stored+passwords+using+a+master+password
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

  • Can't make Firefox forget GMail password. Un-tick in Options doesn't do it.

    In the past I have been able to un-tick "save passwords" or "remember passwords" in Options. Now it does not work, though the only one I'm sure about is Gmail/Google.
    Can you explain?

    Websites remembering you and automatically log you on is stored in a cookie.

  • I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

  • Hi i'm trying to install updates but Name and then the password I have for the account won't let me in. Is my name my email address?

    hi i'm trying to install updates but Name and then the password I have for the account won't let me in. Is my name my email address?

    Updates do not normally require any kind of password access.  It is more likely your machine's security is asking for you to allow things to be updated.

  • Help! placed grayscale TIFF won't let me change its color swatch...

    help! placed grayscale TIFF won't let me change its color swatch...
    Tried re-launching application, re-booting PC in case of a technical glitch. Something with graphics frames that needs to be re-stored that I am unaware of?
    I also tried creating a new page, importing another image and still experiencing the issue.
    How do I "re-set" my settings so it will work once again?
    Thank you!

    Here's the info on resetting your prefs: Replace Your Preferences
    But that's not likely the problem. Are you sure the images are really grayscale mode? What format are they saved in? They cannot be colorized in ID if they are transarent or lack a Background layer.

    And, if you use Touch ID, there is no option for a delay.

  • Firefox stopped saving passwords for any site !!

    for all sites i joine it stopped asking to save password
    so every day i join i need to type it all the day long

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like saving new passwords are disabled.
    * 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 and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended.
    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

  • NFirefox will not allow me to click on a link without switching to another program first. The version is 3.6.8. This problem makes Firefox virtually unusable. Help!

    Firefox will not allow me to click on more than one link in a sequence. After one click, I am forced to switch to another active application before returning to Firefox and clicking on another link. I have seen this problem posted by others, but I can't find an answer by Mozilla. Since this problem makes Firefox virtually unusable (version 3.6.8) I would hope that Mozilla would offer an answer ASAP. Until then, I'm stuck with Explorer.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • I changed my password on hotmail and now it won't let me go on my iPod without entering the password?

    Well you see, I changed my hotmail password last night, cause there was a hacker. So then I changed it, and I turned it on this morning, to see the incorrect password. I tried entering the new password, but it said incorrect. I tried the old one, it also said incorrect. I looked around, but I found nothing. It won't let me do anything until the password is correct. So, basically, I can't go onto iPod settings, or anything.
    Help...?

    Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I deleted my music library by mistake! I had already made a playlist on my  computer at work but found out there is no CD burner on that computer so I am trying to make a new playlist on a different computer and it won't let me. Anyone off any advise?

    I need help with syncing my Iphone to a computer that is not mine. I had synced music onto my work computer only to find out it didn't have a CD burner and now it won't let me download on a new computer. In the meantime, I lost all of my purchased music from my phone!! Can anyone help?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
