FF doesn't save... found passwords solution

I had the same problem that many others have had dating back to 2012. Firefox (ver 24) leave save and even lost my password. I tried 'ALL' stuff and the solutions proposed by the experts. Not a single one worked! Behold, this is what I finally did to solve my problem.

1. save all your bookmarks, found in "show all bookmarks". Save to your desktop, so you can find it.

2. find the file "Mozilla FireFox" of their Web page. Download the file appropriate for your system needs.

3. do not forget where you load this file. You need to reinstall a new version. Also, I have re-installed the new version of "Nocturnes" (27.0) which is in beta and caused a few problems before. But it was the only version of FF that works for me.

4. as a precautionary measure to check if you have Microsoft is still installed on your system. You will need in case you can not re - install FF and need to reconnect to the Internet. I did not and it scary but all goes well when I reinstalled Firefox.

5. go into 'Control Panel' systems and find "Programs and features" and "Uninstall" FireFox.

6. restart just to clear memory resident, ignored problems.

7. find the file downloaded for Firefox. Install it. It totally goes back to square one. You lose all your settings.

8. after installation, go to "Show all bookmarks" reinstall that save you bookmarks. It will ask where the file is so I hope that you remember where you put it.

9. you will have to reset all your preferred settings one at a time all over again.

10. in the title of "Add-ons", you will need to re - install all those too. I installed "Save Password Editor" for my system and it works well. There are several to choose from, your choice.

So far, my system is back to normal, but I still need to visit all the sites that use a password and completely re - enter everyone again and save. Password editor makes it easy. Copy and paste the ' old files key and code access ' as to suggest that also did not work. I did, things became worse, not better.

It's my solution and it worked! Good luck...

Normally, this should work if you delete the two files signons.sqlite and signons3.txt involved to store the name and the password to do this work. Some extensions installed or in private browsing mode can cause also save new passwords to fail.

Some Web sites use autocomplete = off to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password automatically.

You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox to record names and passwords and other form data.

Other web pages can use JavaScript or other means that do not work in the current Firefox versions and in such a case, you will need to use an extension.

It is likely that Firefox doesn't fill the name and password via the Manager password so in such a case.

  • Firefox prompts to save passwords of websites. The key to the Password Manager icon appears on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window asking if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions

    I installed the latest version of Firefox on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The thing is that firefox prompt to save passwords of websites. I'll explain you a little more away with an example: suppose I load www.gmail.com. When I login, the password manager key is displayed on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window which would ask if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions. It is true that when I restart firefox with disabled modules (safe mode), password manager works fine. But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox. At that time, I had not installed any antivirus software and there is no add-on with firefox. Hope someone can give me a valid solution...

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

  • VPS Config will not save the password

    I am running 10.11.4 on what we'll call the Machine B and I'm trying to config a VPN which is supposed to connect to a Mac OS X Server running a VPN L2TP.

    Another machine, we'll call the Machine A, connects to the VPN without problem. So, I know that the problem is NOT server-side.

    So in sys prefs, you can access the network, and I have my VPN connection in there. Under authentication, I have two fields, one password and one for the shared secret.

    On computer A, when I go to look at settings, these two are saved correctly. This is why Machine A connects to the VPN without problem.

    On Machine B, I enter the password and the shared secret. I hit OK. If I click the authentication settings button once again, I see the points demonstrating the existence of a stored value of password and the shared secret. Then I click APPLY. Now if I click authentication settings, the password and the shared secret are empty!

    This happens again and again. I can't understand why. No wonder my VPN will not connect if this f-in computer won't save the authentication settings.

    Moreover, the VPN used to work perfectly without a problem. Then something happened - he asked me a password for my VPN unexpectedly. Never, since the VPN not working and I can't make it work because of this problem.

    Hello

    We discovered a machine here at our office today who had exactly the same problem. Your post was the only one I could find that describes our problem exactly.

    Our machine is a Macbook Pro, El Cap 10.11.4

    I found a solution that allowed me to recreate the VPN connection through the command line.

    Once the VPN connection has been recreated the shared key has been registered successfully in its field in the connection settings.

    This script https://github.com/halo/macosvpn saved the day.

    We use Cisco IPSec that is described on how to enter in the CLI to the bottom of the page, but L2TP is mentioned above.

    Good luck!

  • How can I get Firefox to save a password for one that I deleted?

    I have a bookmark in a Web site that has saved my login and my password. I changed the password but not asked to update. For all other websites for which I changed my password for Firfox asked if I wanted to update the password. So I deleted the entry for user name and password for this Web site. However, he still reminds the user name but will not be asked if I want to save the password. Why the change? Why can't I save my new password?

    This Web site may use autocomplete = off to prevent registration of data in form as the name and password of Firefox.

    You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox to store data of form such as names and passwords.

    Note that Firefox doesn't form data automatically populate automatically saved when autocomplete = off is used, you must double-click the empty name field for a drop-down list.

  • How can I stop the safari asking to save a password for a site?

    I have a site I connect but do not want to save the password (it uses the number of a hardware token within the powers). Safari doesn't give me the option to save or "not for now". Is it supposed to be an option 'never', or can I manually add this site to a white list or another way to stop asking him every time?

    Safari > Preferences > AutoFill

    Click on the "Edit" button beside "user names and passwords".

    Select and then delete the site and the Info for that "never for this site" has been selected by choosing the entry

  • Thunderbird is not save my password even if I continue to check the Save password box. Fails to retrieve mail when I check the box.

    Recently, I've migrated my profile of Thunderbird to a new computer. Everything works great, except that Thunderbird doesn't remember my password for the account. I am the only user on the machine, and I check only one account, so I don't want to set up a master password... I want just the program to remember my password for the e-mail account. I get the question 'Do you want to save your password?', every time I run the program... but if I check the box to do this, mail is not retrieved. (No error message, just nothing happens.) If I get the password without the box, the mail is retrieved. Even with the sending - I wonder for the time of password the first by session I have send a message. If I check the box 'Save password' send fails. If I do not check the box, sending passes.

    This has been a consistent behavior for about a month now. I'm not just randomly in the password incorrectly. It happens that way every time.

    That is what it is? Y at - it a fix for this? I want to just Thunderbird to remember my password.

    Try this:

    Make folders and hidden files visible

    In thunderbird

    • Help > troubleshooting information
    • Click on the view file"" button.

    a new window opens showing profile_name folder.

    • Close Thunderbird now - this is important
    • Scroll down - find and delete this file: key3db
    • Close this window - upper-right X

    Restart Thunderbird.

    At the password prompt, enter the password and select the "Manager password use to remember the password" check box and click OK.

    Note: If you use a product like CCleaner, then it's probably compensation info session and password. In this case, you will need to make an exception for files of thunderbird in CCleaner to stop cleaning Thunderbird.

    Please report on the results.

    The problems are gone now. However, I'll never know exactly what that caused them. When I restarted the computer in safe mode problems continue. But when I tried to restart my computer does not recognize the hard drive in safe mode or in normal mode.

    It is possible that the Firefox problems were caused by a faulty hard drive.

    I was able to rebuild the directory with Disk Warrior and transfer my files, but the disk would not boot. Fortunately, I had a spare hard drive. I installed and reloaded all my software and data from scratch. I also downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Firefox works fine now.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. They may not have fixed this particular problem, but I learned a few new tricks from you to solve other problems.
