New firefox will not remember my hotmails email addresses or passwords

the newer firefox (4) will not store my email addresses or passwords on msns hotmail. everytime i go to logon it has already forgotten my email address and i have to type it all in again

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?
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. 
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. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

Firefox will not remember my hotmail user id and doesn't offer a box to do so it works in IE

Very frustrating. FF started acting up a couple of days ago. It began by showing my user id in hotmail. The next time I checked mail, (I had not shut down the computer) it was blank. I filled it in and then my password. When I shut off the computer and tried the next day. It asked if I wanted to remember my log in name. I said, Yes. After that, FF never remembered my user name and never provided a box to do so. I had not changed anything in FF since downloading 5.o several weeks ago.
It works fine in IE. I cannot find any answer anywhere that offers a fix. I even uninstalled 5.o and reinstalled. It still doesn't work.

I don't know if I can help but I have firefox and IE 8 and hotmail doesn't remember my username on either browser or computer. Seems to have occured about 2 weeks ago. I tried allowing cookies, changing security settings, etc. with no luck. my oS is XP and on laptop is windows 7.
i just wanted to let you know I am having problems with this also. I will bookmark this page and add to it if I have any luck. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Firefox will not remember my e-mail log in

I had no problem with my e-mail until about a week ago. I made no changes before this. Now firefox will not remember my e-mail log in. I check the box (remember me) but it does no good. I went to tool (privacy) and went through the process to remember my log ins but nothing seems to help

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Firefox will not remember last window size

I am using Firefox 32.0.2 on a Windows 7 computer.
Starting yesterday when a new window opens it will not remember the window size. It always opens to a small window that takes up about 1/4 of the screen. It should remember the last window size used and open new windows to that size.
I have not changed anything on the computer since it last worked that I am aware of (it is a work computer so IT could have done something).
I have already done a reset and deleted and recreated localstore.rdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may have a corrupt '''localstore.rdf''' file.

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* 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 Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox will not remember which application to use to open .ris files

Every single time I download a .ris file, used for downloading/importing bibliographic references into citation management software such as EndNote, I tell Firefox to remember to open it with EndNote... and every time, it forgets. Going into the applications tab of preferences shows that, indeed, ris is not listed, though I've been telling it to save this preference for about a year now. Other reference file types are opening automatically with EndNote, as desireed, but Firefox will simply not learn .ris for some reason, and there's no option for me to manually put this into the list!

Download action are always linked to a specific MIME type send by the server and not the file extension. 
If you can't set an automatic action then that most likely means that the server doesn't use a MIME type that Firefox recognizes and accepts.

Run As Administrator Firefox will not open links in emails

When Firefox is opened with Run As Administrator links in emails will not open. Is this normal?
Using W7 Firefox 23.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
What email service are you using?

The new "Photos" will not link to Outlook email.

Just updated to OS X 10.10.3.
The new Photos app will not link to Microsoft Outlook.
Never had this problem with previous versions of iPhoto.
Please help!

Some additional info...
While looking back through past messages to Apple Support Communities, I found the same problem in 2012 with iPhoto version 9.4.1.
It wouldn't recognize Outlook.
When version 9.4.2 was released, the problem was solved.
Attention Apple! It's time to update Photos 1.0 please!!
As that was prior to the system-level sharing plugins, I wouldn't expect an update to Photos would add the functionality. I believe Apple expect app developers to provide the plug-ins. As Microsoft is the only company that knows how it's email client should handle an image "shared" to it, they would have to write the sharing plug-in.

Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?
*"Remove the Cookies" from that site: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Firefox will not remember anything. Every time I open Firefox, it asks me to import from Safari or Chrome. Why won't it remember?

This is likely a problem with the profiles.ini file that is either not created or is corrupted.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
Try to remove the entire Firefox folder with all profile folders that show in the screenshot and see if that fixes the problem. 
Firefox should create a new Firefox program folder and a profiles.ini file that registers this profile.
If that isn't the case then check the settings in your security software.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Firefox will NOT remember passwords although I've checked the "Remember Passwords for Sites" option.

The question is just as I posed it - Firefox forgets to keep the passwords for sites, even after I'm prompted to do so each time a site is opened.

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

New Firefox will not let me file a new bookmark into a folder.

Previously with Firefox I could file a new bookmark directly into a new or existing folder. How can I do that with new Firefox??? (without having to save it and then move it later, which I don't see how to do anyway) And how can I organize and edit bookmarks and folders with new Firefox? This was all so easy previously with Firefox. This is a major step backward in user unfriendliness.

Ctrl+D is the "Bookmark This Page" item in the Bookmarks menu on the menu bar.
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
This saves the new bookmark by default in the Bookmarks Menu folder.
In current Firefox releases the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is highlighted blue.
So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead if you try to bookmarks a page that is already bookmarked.

Server Monitor Notification will NOT accept an outgoing email address

Hi folks. I have a new XServer Xeon. Everything is working great, except for one maddening issue: When I use Server Monitor and go to set up notifications, the "send to" field will NOT accept any input at all...whether it's a bonafide email address or just any old text typing. Nada. I can seem to enter all other info like the "from" field, and the buttons work....just can't add any addresses to send notifications to. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is a "duh" moment for me and not a real issue.
Thanks!

Daddy
I have quite a few Xserve's (G4, G5) running Email notification from Server monitor without mail services running.
It appears to be a problem with the new Intel's version of Server monitor, I cannot get SM to accept any email addresses either, it will also not remember other settings between launches.
I have submitted a bug report with Appple through ADC on this.
FYI if you setup lights out management on another IP on Xserve and connect server monitor to that IP from another machine you can add email addresses but when hardware events occur on Xserve no emails are sent!
So IMHO server monitor V1.5 is broken right now, only good for manually monitoring the hardware.
If I get an answer from Apple I will post it in this category

Eprint will not print from some email addresses

My grandmother does not have a computer but we have been using an hp printer to email her documents that are printed onto paper for her to read. We had an HP photosmart that died this week and we had to get an HP envy instead.
I changed the email address on the new printer to a similar one from the one we used before and changed the settings for printing to "open to anyone." Emails from our phones, gmail, yahoo or even my mom's work email address (which has tons of security) have all gone through fine but emails from my grandmother's church do not come through. They are not even registering on the collections to show that the email was sent.
It is extremely important that I figure out how to fix this. Any ideas?

Hi @turtle290 ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that ePrint jobs from the church are not printing.
The fact that they are not arriving in collections leads me to wonder, do they have the correct email?
It could also be something entirely different.

TS1398 My wireless router failed and I had to purchase a new one. My security on the new one will not allow me to use the same password. I entered a new password, but of course it is not on my ipod or ipad mini . How can I enter new password ?

My wireless router in my home has failed. I purchased a new router, but it will not allow some of the characters which I used for my old password. Therefore I cannot access the internet with my ipad mini or my ipod touch. I am unable to change the password on either device. How do I go about changing the password on these units so that I can access the internet? Thanks
