Firefox will not save passowrds.

I just got a new laptop (a dell XPS 15Z) and when I downloaded firefox it won't let me save my passwords.

Usually, when you type your password, a menu appears down and asks if I want to save. But now it won't let me. The key in the corner is displayed but the pop in the menu drop-down does not work. Also when I click on the button, nothing happens if I left or right click. I post a reference image is a little clearer. I tried Firefox 12 both the beta and both have the same question

This is a feature that greatly affects the use of Firefox to the point if it is not resolved I'll unfortunately have to switch browsers

Try turning off hardware acceleration.

  • my new version of firefox will not save my user name and passwords - why?

    My version before I updated to 4 saved all my usernames and passwords. Since the update to version 4, it records only a few. I checked that I'm not running in privacy mode and have checked remember passwords and have a master password in the Security section. I have a laptop with Windows Vista.

    Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.

    If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

    If a Web site creates the login via JavaScript form then the password manager does not offer to store both passwords (Bug 518516).

  • Firefox will not save my Yahoo mail passwords, but will be exploring.

    Firefox allows to save passwords of yahoo Mail, but lately, doesn't seem to work. I have 2 email accounts and password with Yahoo. I read through and clicked on all the things on which allows passwords to be saved, but nothing works. I don't have this problem with Solution Explorer. If it's just something that Yahoo has been close Firefox then so let it be, but if there is something that can be done I would appreciate the help.

    I read through the other Q & A on this point, it looks like a big problem everywhere, but many solutions say on bookmarks, etc I do not understand what to do. Many say "resolved", but I don't see any solution.

    remmed on my first temporary comment

    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)-this is also the case with yahoo.

    You can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to work around this restriction.

  • Why FireFox will not save my newspaper in my homepage?

    Until the most recent upgrades, Firefox automatically save my log in information for my home page. This is no longer. When I launch Firefox now, I click on Sign In, choose my password saved (from Roboform), and I'm connected.

    Sometimes I can close Firefox, reopen it, and I am always connected. Most of the time when I close Firefox and reopen it, I have to reconnect. I have the same parameters in the last version I've had previously, but still have problems.

    I tried all the 'stuff' standard (ensuring saved passwords, etc), but nothing changes. I uninstalled Firefox and started "from scratch", but it did not help. I'm puzzled.

    BTW if I use Internet Explorer, my connection settings are saved. I want to use Firefox but signature every time is a pain.

    Thank you.

    It was very good work. Play well.

  • Firefox will not save the names of user or password

    I have Firefox at work, where they have a policy file that prevents me to set a homepage, by setting Firefox as default and remember history.

    Now, because I used sync at work and at home sync to synchronize my favorites, I can no longer set the homepage to home, put Firefox by default, or save the data of login/password or search history. The only thing that remains is favorite.

    Hi there, please check your preferences. Check if Donot forget not the history is enabled or not.
    If Yes, then firefox behaves as incognito mode, change it to remember the story to solve your problem.

    Hope that helps.
    If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to ask at any time.

  • New Firefox, will not save the homepage and will open and display all add-ons every time!

    Okay - years old now, I used Firefox ONLY - he had the best extensions and modules from any other browser out there. Add to that, it is safe and very fast. This is my default browser.

    This week I logged on my DeviantArt site and odd ads began to appear in the lower corners left and right of the browser, unlike what I'd never seen before. Add to that, they were very inappropriate. So I guess something was wrong and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I got "bugs" the origin of the problems. And of course, there was a kind of nasty bug in Firefox, causing all sorts of questions.

    So, following the suggestions to fix, as well as the suggestions on here, I uninstalled Firefox (21) and then reinstalled the new version, 23. At first, I thought, ' Wow, this is really very fast! When I opened Firefox it does not go to my home page, he went to the Firefox start page, as well as the opening of the tabs for EACH add-on and extension!

    Yes, open tools, Options and reset the home page of my homepage, https://www.google.com

    Simple and something I've done before. I'm a geek and have worked on my own additions. Set up my home page, has been working in Firefox and went to youtube to download a video it would not! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings and voila! No problems!

    So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. It was last night. This morning, I start the computer and the first thing we do is to open Firefox. And what happens? Oh, Yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I wanted TO! It's back to the start page of Firefox, and it opens tabs for EACH SINGLE module!

    Holy carp, tired now. So I research of 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so a little more than 5 hours, that I keep trying to fix it based on instructions of Firefox. Go to topic: config, work on channels, change the info from the home page, etc. Save it. Return to tools, Options, and there is my home page. Close Firefox and open and what the heck? Once again, back to where it was, opening, as if I just downloaded this browser. Now, I spent literally HOURS trying to solve this problem and I am so frustrated that I'm almost ready to uninstall it! My one complaint is that I've looked everywhere to try to find this same problem and it does not. Is true, I am the only one having this weird problem?

    You can reset firefox?

  • Firefox will not save preferences & crashes when opening files

    Two main issues here, but they can be linked together somehow.

    First Firefox always wonder if I want to contribute to send performance data every time I open the browser. I followed all the advice in the article 'FF won't save my preferences' and vain. I have now uninstalled FF and deleted all traces (Inc. in hidden folders). Now re-installed, it does exactly the same thing and now won't save my homepage either.

    Secondarily, firefox always crashes when I try and import and export bookmarks without fail. Also often crashes when you press a button download, for example gmail attachments files or post image Facebook to file. This has happened for some time and is still, even after wiping everything...

    Try creating a new profile as a test to check whether your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • I installed 8.0.1 and when I try to bookmark a page, Firefox will not save the bookmark. Do not import or restore either.

    I downloaded Firefox to reinstall. After installation, I opened a web page and tried to bookmark. Firefox opens a small format that I am to fill, provide a name and other information for the bookmark. I filled out the form and click 'done '. The form disappears. If I click on "Bookmarks" in the menu, I can't see not all bookmarks. a few commands for "show all bookmarks, bookmark this page, bookmarks bar and bookmarks-not sorted." View all bookmarks opens a window of the library. It is empty. None of the functions (Import, restore, etc.) anything, but no error is thrown. Displays bookmarks bar a side pop-out menu with 'Empty' written in it. Unsorted Bookmarks empty library is displayed again. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times, cleaned the registry, etc. and it continues to refuse to bookmark the pages. But seems that Firefox KNOWS that the page is bookmarked. The URL will pop up as I start to type in the address field.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Why Firefox will not save my passwords?

    Recently, I ran System Mechanic to erase your personal information. She deleted all my saved passwords in Firefox. Now Firefox don't ask me whether to save passwords. I really miss this feature. I tried to follow the help"info and everything is set properly. Am I missing something?

    Be careful with the usung this stuf cleaning software.

    It is probably best to create a new profile if you don't know what went wrong or cannot undo those changes.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    You can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files

  • BONES of Firefox will not save Favorites, lates updates installed. ???

    Before I could get online own bookmarks and choose had to register. But now I have the old stuff, but it is impossible to save the new ones?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to fix the problem and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Why Firefox will not save the binary to install iTunes?

    The latest version of iTunes (11.1.4) caused problems for many users, and the Council is to uninstall/reinstall iTunes. After you have uninstalled iTunes (and cleared out the folders) I tried to download a new installation.
    Firefox asks me if I want to save the file and I click Yes and... nothing happens.

    Have read elsewhere that as it is a binary file, Firefox he treats like a mixed content file. However, I don't see any warning about it and there is no option to download it in any case.

    Is there a setting that I have to fix or is this a bug?

    Finally I had to use IE8 to successfully download the installation program.

    I think I found the answer.

    If I put my download options for 'Always ask me where to save files', then select desktop, nothing happens.

    If I put my download options "save files...". "and then browse to change folder by default on the desktop download, the downloaded files OK.

    If it's strange just at the binaries I don't know but it works with iTunes Installer.

    As I prefer all downloads to go to the office in any case, using "save files...". "suits me better.
