Why doesn't Firefox recognize the Windows Live Mail login page as such and offer to remember the password?

For most other sites' login pages, Firefox recognizes that they are login pages and offers to remember my password. For the Windows Live Mail login page it does not.

That log in page is created via JavaScript and the Password Manager doesn't work in that case.
You can see that if you inspect the page source.
*Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
*Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
*Right-click on a web page to open the right-click context menu and select Page Source

Is there a Mac equivalent of the Windows Live Mail client?

(If anyone reading isn't familiar with Windows Live Mail, please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsLiveMail to see what I mean. Please don't suggest clients like Microsoft Entourage etc as they're not what I'm looking for!)
I used to have a Windows laptop and used the Windows Live Mail client to manage my Hotmail accounts. It was brilliant as it synchronised exactly with webmail (all folders present and correct, if I deleted an email on the webmail it would delete from the programme and vice versa, etc) and did this with as many email accounts as I liked - so I could access all three from the same screen. Perfect!
When I got a Macbook I discovered that Windows Live Mail wasn't available for Mac. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a suitable alternative but never found one.
I'm aware of how to use Hotmail in a regular mail client but I've not found one exactly the same as Windows Live Mail. There's always a problem with synchronisation between the client and webmail, I can only get the inboxes imported and no other folders synchronise which is a pain as I don't always use my laptop to read my email - if I read it elsewhere using webmail and move an email from the inbox to another folder, I'd have to do a second time when I next use my laptop. Hence I don't bother and just use webmail instead - but I hate logging in and out of three accounts!
As it's been ages since I last looked, I thought I'd look again - but I still can't find anything that works the way I want.
Is there a Mac equivalent of Windows Live Mail (http://download.live.com/wlmail)? Something that works in exactly the same way? I wish Windows weren't so childish and would just release a version of this for Mac... it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old laptop!
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)

In few words, "No." There is no such client for the Mac. The closest you may find would be to try the Mac MSN client, aMSN - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it's essentially just a messenger clone. I doubt it includes a Live Mail client.
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this question elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)
Because there is no other response.

TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account. I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work. I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

Not able to get mail from windows live account.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

Adding button on the windows (vista/7) login page

Hi
It is possible to create button on login page in windows (7/8) using c#. Please give some ideas.

No you can't. The only available avenue is via a Credential Provider, which must be written in a C/C++.

Why doesn't firefox save my windows and tabs from last time ?

i have gone to tools, options, then under the general tab i set firefox to start up : I set show my windows and tabs from last time.
When i closed firefox and then started it again it didn't work.
What can be done to resolve this issue please?

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
* [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

Why Doesn't Firefox 34.0.5 Render Any Web Pages - All Are Blank White

I am using Firefox on on W7-SP1 computer and three W8.1 computers
I upgraded to 34.0.5 from 33.1.1. None of the pages on any website render. All pages are just blank white. The Yoono sidebard works. Popup message from Firefox shows..
Steps I took to try and solve problem
1. Disabled all extensions - Did not solve problem
2. Did an uninstall and clean install - Did not solve problem
3. Turned off Web Protection in Bitdefender Internet Sececurity 2015 - Did no solve problem
4. Turned off Web Protection in Malwarebytes 2.03 - Did not work
5. Turned off Protection in Malwarebyes Anti-Exploit - Did not work
I am also using Malwarebytes

Hey,
I really hope I can help some of you poor ones who have that problem because I had it, too! Right after upgrading to Version 34.0.5, no webpages displayed any content but a blank. It annoyed me very much, especially since it's hard to get an earlier Firefox version and seemingly impossible to downgrade. What helped me in the end was:
Disabling one of my add-ons, namely "Privacy Defense".
I had to find out what caused the trouble. So I went to reset my Firefox to the original settings, thereby getting rid of all my add-ons. Webpages were working normally as before. I re-downloaded my old add-ons. Everything worked fine. Until I got to "privacy defense" which doesn't even require a restart of Firefox. When I had downloaded it, no webpages would look any other than blank! So I disabled it - and everything was back to normal. So:
Tools > add-ons > guilty add-on (for me Privacy Defense) > disable it.
It seems as though certain add-ons aren't compatible with this new Firefox version. So check them. (Also, my contrast settings, colours and fonts I had chosen weren't the problem.)
Really hope this helps someone.
Good luck!

My I pod touch ..has a old E-mail acct. assoc. with it and can't remember the password, will not let me update my apps. will deleting my acct. fix problem will I loose all of my stored photos?? help

wondering if deleting my Itunes acct. will help in erasing the pop-up requiring a password I no longer know ?

You really can't delete the account.
Try recovering the the password
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
YO can just delete all media purchased with the account and change the ID to a new one. and not lose things like photos except for photos directly associated with the ID like maybe photos in your PhotoStream

BT Yahoo Toolbar and Windows Live Mail password se...

I have been puzzling yet again why my auto log in to Windows Live Mail no longer works.
Although I tick "remember me", after a reboot I am asked for my password again.
I then came upon this link:
http://www.i19777.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2169
It seems the BT Yahoo Toolbar installer changes the registry settings. Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work.
Downloading and installing "Make Messenger Remember Me" fixes the problem.
Yes, I know it says "Messenger" but if you do not use it, it works just as well for WL Mail.
This has been a pain for some time now and although I have been in contact with BT numerous times about this, they have never admitted that the Toolbar could be the problem.
Will the moderators please forward this post to the tech guys so that this problem can be addressed?

Nice link and suggestion Smirnoff.
I assume that toolbar sits in the BTYahoo browser, (don't use it here) which is being phased out I think, so it's unlikely BT tech guys will do anything.
Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work so "Make Messenger Remember Me" could be a useful tool for those still irritated by this who turn to another browser.

Did you try the iPhone syncing options in iTunes?
Click on your iPhone in iTunes, and check under the Info section where you can choose which app to sync with. Is Windows Live Mail an option?
