Wont save favorite passwords and login info on my toshiba computer

Firefox won't save my logins or passwords on the toshiba laptop and it's very frustrating. I have to put all the logins everytime and on other computers this does not happen. How can I change the settings?

Passwords are stored in the password files (encrypted).
Bookmarks are stored in the bookmarks file.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Hi
I have Mountain Line with Safari 6.0.2. I used to open Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc. and everytime I select "Stay signed in" "Remember my password" etc. but it doesn't save my passwords and everytime I have to sign in again. I never sign out from these websites but when I open it next time, it requires username & password.
Does anybody know the problem & solution, plz help. I also found disk erros and reaoired permissiomn and the restarted and did disk utlty again and repaired the same disk errors and then did a restart and still does not remember passwords or ask me. Did all this still no luck it saved apple login on here and saved gmail account but others one it used to save does no longer.here is what i did below and still no luck.
Instructions
Set Your Passwords Preferences
1
Open up your Safari Web browser and choose 'Preferences' from the Safari pull down menu
2
Click on the heading 'AutoFill.'
Click on the box next to 'User Names and Passwords.'
4
Close the 'Preferences' window.
Save Your Passwords
5
Go to a Web page that requires a password and enter in your chosen password. Safari will then ask if you would like to save this password.
6
Click on the button 'Yes' in order to save the password.
7
Complete steps 1 and 2 for any other passwords that you want Safari to remember.
Manage Your Passwords
8
Go to the 'AutoFill' section in the Safari Preferences window.
9
Click on the 'Edit' button to the right of where it says 'User Names and Passwords.' This will bring up a window displaying all of the passwords and usernames that you have authorized Safari to save.
10
Click on a password listing and push the 'Remove' button in order to delete the password from Safari's memory.
11
Choose 'Remove All' in order to delete all of the saved passwords.
12

I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

I want Firefox to ask me if I want to save this password for login purposes. It did that with the first 3 sites i went to... but now it stopped asking!

Question...
I want Firefox to ask me if I want to save this password for login purposes. It did that with the first 3 sites i went to... but now it stopped asking!
I've gone to several DIFFERENT websites that require a login and in ALL instances since the first 3 it saved... I don't get the popup window asking if I want to save the password.
How do I get that feature back????
Thanks...

Hi seraphim99,
You will get that [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4_quittabs.png Quit Firefox message] "Do you want to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" [Save and Quit] [Quit] [Cancel] if you follow what is currently step 31 in the link I had provided [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost Restoring tabs from a lost session] (#tabslost)
Which indicates as follows: (boldface is user set)
* <b>browser.showQuitWarning user set boolean true</b>
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose default boolean true
* browser.warnOnQuit default boolean true
* <b>browser.warnOnRestart user set boolean true</b>
Links were included there for assistance with '''about:config''' for those that don't know how to change configuration variables, along with additional reference for that and so that other similar questions of making Firefox 4 look/act like Firefox 3.6.17 would also be answered particularly the items in the first 10 steps in the same area. Which was addressed by the following part of my original reply
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic ["http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)].
I don't know if you looked at the web page or not, but I've highlighted some additional words there to try to make the webpage more clear to others in the future.
Hope that Helps

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

Create a new admin account named repair and only give them the password for that account. Alternately you could back up or clone your system, erase the hard drive and then reinstall OS X with one admin account that has no personal information.

Apparently my FF is slow as a bastard child because of my cache. However, I have loads of user/passwords saved and DO NOT wish to seem them go buh-bye.

All you can do is restore from backup, You have to erase the iPod. That is a security feature
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

If I manually save the bookmarks, and place them on a different computer, are my login passwords for those bookmarks also going to be transfered?

Hi guys! Hope you're doing great!
I want to give some very important bookmarks to a colleague of mine, but for most of them I have passwords saved in Firefox 34.0 (Linux 14.0.4 LTS).
I am worried that giving her the bookmarks that I have downloaded on my PC from the Import/Export Bookmarks option, will also give her the login passwords for them.
Is this going to happen or it's ok to send her the needed bookmarks? I do not have another PC on which I can test that at the moment.
I searched through these recommended articles:
- Can I restore my bookmarks if they were saved to the same profile on a different computer?
- why does firefox corrupt my bookmarks every time I load it on a different computer?
- How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?
- Where are my logins stored?
- Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
Thank you very much!

I have tried all of the suggestions -passwords and logins are not saving. The lists are empty. Please help.

I imported my profile from my other pc and my bookmarks are there but my pws and logins were not imported. I figured I would just reset up a master and start over but no matter what I do the logins and passwords do not show up in the list.

What Firefox version is used on the other PC?
Did you use an extension like FEBE or did you manually copy files?
Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file that has been used before (the matching key3.db file is still needed).

I totally agree! I have just managed to downgrade to 5.1.1 again through this link (might get pulled):
http://techglobex.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/downgrade-from-ios-6-beta-firmware-to.h tml
What I did was :
1. Make sure I was on itunes 10..6.3.25
2. Dowloaded 5.1.1 from the link
3. Connected my phone to itunes
4. Held the shift key down and then pressed 'update'
5. Found the 5.1.1 download and clicked open.
6. Then let it do its work.
7. I then had to restore my phone from the back up I made before I upgraded to 6. It offered icloud or computer and I chose computer.
8. just let it run - it then asked me for a new passcode and then went on to download all my apps/music/photos etc.
I am now back with google maps working as well as youtube. Everything is as it was
Hope this helps but don't blame me if you have problems - maybe I have been lucky.

Entering passwords and other info into Terminal

So, here is the deal. I'm writing a script that automates a process that uses a shell script through Terminal. It takes an external hard drive, splits it into a bunch of partitions and restores disk images to those partitions. When it does this it prompts for the password and then sees how many dmgs are in the folder and makes that many partitions and it prompts for the size I want each of those partitions to be. Instead of putting the password and all the partition sizes into the AppleScript is there a way to make it pop up every time Terminal needs a piece of info?
Thanks in advance for any help!

is there a way to make it pop up every time Terminal needs a piece of info?
Not easily. Terminal.app's do script does little more than just blindly typing whatever you specify into the current window. There's no context of what the shell is currently doing (e.g. waiting for input) so it's hard to know when you should pop-up
To do what you want you'd have to periodically poll the current window, grabbing its contents, then looking at the last paragraph to see if it matches a particular string, then react accordingly. Tricky, at best
However, that might not be necessary. It may be possible to ask all the questions you want up-front so that your script has all the data, then you could send all the commands at once, or use AppleScript's built-in do shell script command to execute the commands serially. You'd lose the interactive nature of the script if you take this second approach, but it might be easier.
The concept could work something like:
on run
-- get the file count
set folderContents to (list folder (choose folder))
set ct to count folderContents
-- start off with an empty list
set partitionSizes to {}
-- here's our base diskutil command
set diskUtil_command to "diskutil partitiondisk /Volumes/ExternalDiskName " & ct & " GPT "
-- now ask for the partition sizes
repeat with imageNum from 1 to ct
-- prompt for the partition size
set this_size to (text returned of (display dialog "Enter size of partition " & imageNum default answer 0))
-- and append to the diskutil command
set diskUtil_command to diskUtil_command & ("HFS+ " & item imageNum of folderContents & space & this_size & space)
end repeat
-- now you have a nice long diskutil command you can execute:
-- either tell application "Terminal.app" or (my preference):
do shell script diskUtil_command with administrator privileges
end run
Of course, you could add extra logic to ensure the partition size is at least as big as the diskImage (and you could also count the disk images in the folder as opposed to all files like I do now).

hello..i have an older mac 10.3.9 and Firefox 2.00.
I cannot upgrade to Firefox 3.

To backup or restore passwords in Firefox 2.0.x you need two files: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/signons2.txt signons2.txt]

I have an ipod touch and dont know the password and also no longer have the computer used to sync the ipod. How can I do a factory reset to start over completely?

I have an IPod touch and it had a password on it. I cant remember the password and do not have the computer anymore that I used to sync to iTunes. The message that I get is "iTunes could not connect to iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must eneter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes."
How can I go back to factory setting (knowing that I will lose what is on the IPod) and use a different iTunes account.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
