Why wont Firefox save my password exemptions?

Firefox asks if I want the password remembered every time I log into Yahoo mail . I always click on "Never for this Site". The exemption is saved in the exemptions list but cleared when Firefox closes. I go through the same process everytime I open Firefox and check my Yahoo Mail.
Passwords is unchecked in "Options, Privacy, Settings for Clearing History"?

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.

Why won't firefox save my passwords anymore?

Firefox used to save my passwords, but doesn't do it any longer. It only has about 6 saved at this point and does not give me the drop down box to remember this password anymore.

* 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 <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

The choice to have firefox save web passwords is grayed out so I can't use it. How do I activate it?

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 30. For years I have used the "saved passwords" function. I would like to check the box, but it is inactive and gray.

hello, firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel).

Why wont firefox 4 log into my accounts automatically?

there are some websites that dont have important information and i would like to easily log into them
firefox remembers my passwords but i still have to go into the sign in place and click
why is it doing this now.. it didnt do this in the previous version

Use a Master Password. Then when you go to a site which requires you to login and you fill in your details, you'll get the option to "Remember Password" which is pop up (actually a pop-down). If you choose "Yes", then you'll be presented with the Master Password field.
Enter the password you created for it and then the next time you go to that site, you'll get the Master Password field every time. When you type that in and click OK, it will fill in your login details.
The alternative way of doing it is to use the option most sites have which is something like "Remember me" which you have to checkmark. But this option requires you to have cookies enabled permanently.

I didn't have firefox save my password when I first visited a site. Now when I go there I need to remember my user name and password. How can I get firefox the remember these now?

I'm running version 3.6.23

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.

Why won't Firefox save my passwords?

Recently, I ran System Mechanic to clear out personal information. It wiped out all my saved passwords in Firefox. Now Firefox doesn't ask me whether to save passwords. I really miss this feature. I've tried to follow the Help" info and everything is set as it should be. Am I missing something?

Be careful with usung such software to cleanup stuf.
It is probably best to create a new profile if you do not know what went wrong or can't undo those changes.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
You can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files

How can I let firefox save usernames/passwords for multiple subdomains that use the same username but different passwords?

on a particular website that has sub domains I have multiple accounts with the same name but different password. Firefox seems only able to save one of them, because they are on the same site.

Why wont Firefox launch at all?

Ok, yesterday Firefox installed he new verison of the beta, and also updated the addons. But now it wont open at all. The process isnt even running at all! I dont know how to run it in safe-mode, since i see no safe mode at all. And right now, i'm stuck using Internet Explorer! XP Can someone plese help me get Firefox back?

Hmmm...i went through all the add-ons. It's the "DownloadThemAll! Anti-container". I'm not sure why, but everything works. But in order to do that, you need to uninstall Firefox 4 Beta, re-install it, run Safe Mode (by typing in 'firefox -safe-mode' into Run, which is in the start menu. I don't know why there is no shortcut for that. XP), disable all the add-ons, and enable all except for this one add-on (and of course any that are incompatible with the Beta).
I hope this is the case with the rest of the people having this problem. If not, i hope we can still solve what it could be. In the meantime, I'm going to report this bug...

Firefox saves my password but not my user name

I am a web developer and the website that I have built requires the user to log in to access it. Once the user logs in, they are prompted to have firefox remember their credentials like normal. If they say yes, it creates a record in the saved passwords section (tools>options>security>saved passwords) but the username field is blank. If you click show passwords the password is saved along with the URL...just no user name.
This site is using SSL if that matters. Any ideas?

Do you have a live test case that we can use?
If not, report that to the Mozilla developers thru Bugzilla.

Why wont Firefox 5 warn me when closing multiple tabs? The box in settings is checked.

After I downloaded Firefox 5 it no longer warns me when I'm closing multiple tabs. The box is checked in settings for tabs but it still wont do it. This feature worked fine in Firefox 4. Can this be a glitch?

@NoriMori and auscompgeek
We are not talking about saving tabs when closing; we're talking about the warning "You are about to close X tabs" that usually shows up when you press the browser's close button. Now when I press the button, everything closes; no warning. I'm fortunate that Firefox does have a "restore previous session" button when you reopen Firefox.

Why wont screen saver resize my picture in iso 7

Hi have a favourite picture i wish to use as a sreen saver but when i try to resize it it just springs back to original size and is too big for screen i cannot crop it as the two people on picture are sat about a foot apart why is this happening and how do i cure the problem

If you really like the picture, i suggest you put it on your computer, Instead of cropping it, open it with paint or something and give it a large boarder for cropping; i provided an example:
After this: You can insert it back into your phone and crop it to however you like. For some reason all the photos are FIT to SCREEN on io7. it even happends with my ipad, This is the only way i've countered the problem.

Why wont Firefox open?

Firefox used to open, now it wont open even if I try as administrater. No error messages display. No empty boxes, nothing

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.

Why wont firefox let me acces any microsoft websites preventing me from activating my windows

wenever i try 2 activate my windows it is telling that it cannot find my net connection, also wen i try to view websites relating to microsoft or any form of internet security firefox tells me that it is unable to access or locate the website!

Maybe Norton support suggested this, but just in case...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

Why wont Firefox allow me to click on the top most menu bars on websites? For instance that top-most blue menu bar on facebook.

The top-most menu/options bar on websites where you could do things like log out, view your own profile, or change settings is what I was referring to. I can't click on anything up there, but I can click on everything else on the site.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
