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).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

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.

Firefox blocks the content of almost all Web sites.
It is even shows that for this page.
Whenever I update the facebook page / year app on facebook that will appear.
Previously it used to crash firefox, then I've updated, but since it is just keeping it blocking if gray / geen colorful lock is active on the left side of the address bar.
So whenever I get this error I have to refresh the page & disable the protection on the page again.
If the site is verified then firefox blocks almost everything.

I left my computer for my magic jack so I can receive calls. When I woke in the morning, there were two open windows. One was the new network
window and the other was the window asking if I wanted to do a home network or public. Does that mean someone hacked my computer?
The fact that my network connection now has a (2) beside it means I have now two netowrk connections runinning.
The system seems much slower and takes about 10 seconds to respond to the movements of the mouse if it has been sitting for awhile.
Help, please

I need to know how to activate the box that asks if I'd like firefox to remember this password.
Normally when you install Firefox this feature is enabled by default. You can check the status in the Options dialog box:
the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > Security tab
In the second section, there is a checkbox for "Remember passwords for sites". These articles have more information:
- Password Manager - don't forget, delete, modify and import passwords saved in Firefox
- Use a master password to protect stored passwords and logins
Now... some websites add code to the fields on their forms to block the AutoComplete (which blocks also save connections), so that you can find some sites where Firefox will not save the password for this reason. It may be some workaround solutions, we discussed several times for Yahoo! mail, for example, but since they are long to describe, please post if the problem is specific to the site and provide if possible a link to the login form.

I am referring to the question posed by Firefox ' "do you want Firefox to remember the password for _ on mozilla.com?".
Option are to remember, never for this site, not now. My daughter accidentally clicked remember for his gmail account and we would change forever for this site or not now? How do we proceed?You can remove a password already registered here:
- Tools > Options > Security: passwords: "saved passwords" > "show passwords".

I can not the firefox window to ask me if I want to remember my password. I'm not in private browsing. The site is not on the list of exceptions in the security zone where all other sites of passwords are stored.
Hello, Web sites can specify whether browsers should be able to save the name of user and password (through the AutoComplete = "off" attribute in the login form in the html source code)-it is often the case when a high level of security is probably held by these sites.
You can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to work around this restriction.

Firefox doesn't save and exit, and aid does not tell you what settings to change!
When I go out Firefox he used to ask me if I wanted to save and exit. Since I upgraded to 4.0, it is no more. Now every time I have quit and restart, I need to set up my tabs again!
Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so it is no longer necessary for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > history > restore previous Session" for the previous session.
There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.Another possibility is to use:
- Firefox (Tools) > Options > General > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

I tried to change my privacy settings for history to remember the history of custom settings and he returned always to remember history. I tried all the fixes including refreshing Firefox, by removing the prefs.js file, check my Norton Security Suite to be sure that Firefox Cleanup is disabled, synchronization is turned off and all the other recommendations I can find with an online search of the problem. Another that a deletion total Firefox and fresh installation is there any other recommendation that I can try allowing the change in my setting of the story.
The reason why I ask is recently that my browser does not store cookies permanently. When I try to enter a password sites (my Bank for example), I have to answer a question before you enter my password. I have to do this every day. Previously, I was able to save the computer and should not be the question that arises, unless I have cleared my cache, history and cookies. However, it seems that cookies seem to disappear when I close the computer power off or after an unknown period of time and I have to go through the procedure to properly identify myself and my computer on the site. This is a private computer with no access by someone else and it became cumbersome to re-enter the requested information whenever I go to some of my usual sites.
I use Windows 7 Ultimate with 37.0.1 Firefox as my browser. Any help is greatly appreciated.The problem only occurs when you restart Windows and not between the closing and startup of Firefox without having to restart Windows?
Outside Norton, do you have any other utility that can 'clean up' browser like CCleaner settings?

Everything was going well until I refreshed Firefox. Since then, the address bar does not work. If I type in a website or attempt to use the drop-down menu to access a previous site, the site loads but does not "join the service or go the arrow." It is used to automatically load, now it won't load at all! I am running Windows XP

I have "accept cookies' checked that I have"accept third-party cookies"to never. I l "Keep Unti" to "they expire", I removed all extensions. All of a sudden it started to happen about a week ago even though I do not remember change parameter or install any other software.

Xperia Z5 Premium double not detected! tried all the solutions.
I just got my phone yesterday for my birthday, but my windows cannot detect, such a disappointment.
I have a Windows 8.1 64-bit & there seems to be a problem with the configuration of the driver in Device Manager, when connected the phone emits a sound notification, but that's it no charge & no detection.
I tried all solutions here, restart both devices, tried all the usb ports, Xperia companion cannot detect the phone of course.
I tried to connect the phone to another Windows 7 32 bit & worked immediately, but I need to work on my own pc.
I tried to install the driver manually by downloding of Sony, but when I chose the folder from Device Manager it finds all files.
Please help this is really boring.
Ok! shortly after that I posted that I found a solution, I made a usb debugging as demonstrated in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxf0BaIu9gQ & it worked immediately for me & the phone works very well with the PC now.
I hope you find it useful.
