Why did my saved passwords disappear, and now even with private browsing off I cannot get Firefox to save the passwords over again. Care to help on this????

The most recent version of Firefox just loaded onto my computer and all of my previously saved passwords are gone. To top it off I went in to the Privacy settings and turned off private browsing in order to start saving my passwords again, and it will not save, it doesn't even give me the pop up to ask if I want to save it. Care to help here? I'm way beyond angry right now, some of those passwords were rather unique and I will have a hard time recalling them exactly so not looking forward to having to reset them...

You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Hi, I have answered no to the question about saving password for one spesific site. I have changed my mind and would like Firefox to save the password. How do I reactivate the password saver for one spesific site?

Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

I have a powermac G5 running 10.5.8 I kept getting a screen that told me to upgrade, which I did, then was told it was not compatible and now I have nothing. How do I get Firefox I can use back?

How can I get back to my old system or download one that will work.'''bold text'''

Firefox 4+ versions don't support the old Power PC architecture.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Upgraded to iPhone 6, cannot get into iCloud. "The password you entered is incorrect" even though I used the same Apple ID and password that I used to log into this session. My wife has the same issue with her iPhone 6 as well.

iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2) My wife and I were able to log into iCloud when we bought and activated the phones. In the last 2 days, we have not been able to do so. Have reset the password 3 times. Can get into iTunes and iCloud via MacBook Pro. Every attempt to log in via iPhone we get a message saying the password is incorrect. I noticed someone else had a similar problem about 1 hour ago. Apple support's answer did not fix the problem for them.

have you managed to fix that? i'm facing the same issue on iPhone 6 (8.1.3)

I get the firefox pop up "do you want to remember this password", but it does not save it. There is no "yes" option on the pop up. How can I get Firefox to save my passwords?

I want Firefox to save my passwords as it has in the past, but now it is not doing so. I am using version 6.0.2, I see the pop up asking to remember the password, but firefox does not save the passwords. What can I do to correct this so FF starts saving my passwords?

Firefox 4 and later versions place a key icon on the location bar that allows to (re)open the dialog to save the password at any time. 
That pop-up dialog has a button labeled with "Remember Password". 
If you click the arrow next to that button then you see the other choices ("Never Remember Password for this site", "Not Now").

How do I turn-off that annoying drop-down box with the gold key that asks me if I want Firefox to save the password?

You know what drop-down box I'm talking about. When I sign-in to an existing account, that box drops down, covering links I want to click on, asking me AGAIN if I want to save the password for 'this' [whatever site I'm on] site. NO, I DON'T! If I wanted to save the darn password, I would have clicked 'yes' about 1,000 sign-ins ago! Stop already with the asking me.! This 'gold key' feature just doesn't get it. It is a huge nusiance. Why isn't there a box to click that says "DON'T ASK ME AGAIN"?

Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Site Preferences".

On V4.0, I am unable to get Firefox to save my passwords for critical websites I use frequently. I have followed the recommended procedures to insure that I am asking Firefox to remember passwords.

I have gone to tools, options, security and have made sure that remember passwords is checked, but I never get the request to save the passwords when accessing websites requiring username and password. I am using Windows 7 Operating System.

I spent hours trying to remedy this yesterday but eventually discovered that if you click twice (not a double-click) in the slot, Firefox shows your name and password. So many things not functioning and/or unexplained in Firefox 4.

So, i changed my apple password. And now when i log into my iMessage it won't allow my new password, or my old one. How do i figure this out?

Can someone help me with my imessage. I changed my password and now it's not allowing my new password, or my old one.

Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support. If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly. I'm sure it's something simple we're missing. Good Luck.
Do remember one thing. iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices. This means you can only text to people who:
1. Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
2. And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher

HT204053 I transferred my library to a new computer. Now have a different apple ID and it won't let me play songs from the previouse library and pops up with my old apple ID, which I don't have the password? Any ideas?

I transferred my library to a new computer. Now we have a different ID and it won't let us play most of our library? It prompts us to use our old apple ID with a different email and lost password? Any ideas how to be able to play our extensive, expensive catalog?

All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

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 cannot get firefox to open my passwords. What do i need to do? I use the app pass key and cannot register. Does anybody know what i can do?

I go on the loggon/registration page and i can only get to the loggon part and am not able to register. None of passwords load when i visit a frequently used website I know i am missing something but can"t figure it out.

Do you see any passwords in the Password Manager?
*Firefox > Preferences > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
In not then there may be a problem with the files that stores the passwords, see Troubleshooting in this Knowledge Base article:

I removed a site from my passwords saver because it didn't show the ID. When I went back to the site it didn't ask if I wanted to save the password. How can I get it to save the password again?

I was hoping to save my site ID so I thought I'd go in and try it again, but now it won't save. Maybe I need to shut down the web and open it again. I'll try that.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
