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.

  • Install FlashPlayer does not accept the name of user and password

    Trying to install Flash Player on my Mac.  The Adobe site recognize my user name (email) and password.  But when it comes time to install Flash Player and he asked name of user and password, the box just vibrates.  Why the name of user and password work on the site, but did not accept that for the actual installation?

    Hi adasil,

    If you get the password as mentioned below screen window, then it's the username and password for your MAC computer not Adobe. Also, as PAT said, Flash player is not necessary any Adobe ID or password.

    If the user name and password don't work then you should contact Mac

    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Firefox not remembering the names of user or password.

    I have a new computer and downloaded Firefox. Firefox don't remember my user name or password for my email or facebook. I have the setting set to remember. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    David

    Do you hear the names and passwords in the password manager or do you mean that you are connected is no longer on to (remember to) Web sites after the closing and restarting Firefox?

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.

    If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.

    Websites to remember you and automatically log you in are stored in a cookie.

    • Create a cookie exception allow (Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such cookies, especially for sites Web secure and if the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox in private browsing mode.

    Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • screensharingd does not accept the name of user and password

    Hello

    We have a mac mini which does not accept my credentials via screen sharing. I activated the remote access connection & remote management and set the password for VNC ("viewers VNC may control screen with password") to the same as my username "geertl".

    When I try to connect from another mac mini or an Ubuntu (with customer Remmina) system I always get the following error (system.log):

    7 June 18:01:01 screensharingd mac [2277]: authentication: FAILED: username: geertl: Viewer address: x.x.x.x: Type: DH

    VNC access is fine (with for example of TightVNC viewer):

    7 June 18:01:36 mac screensharingd [2282]: authentication: MANAGED: user name: N/A: Viewer address: x.x.x.x: Type: VNC WITH

    In this window VNC then enter my password and login without problem. SSH also works without problem from a Linux machine:

    ~ # ssh mac-l geertl sw_vers - productVersion

    Password:

    10.11.5

    It's just the screensharing who does not accept my password and/or username. Mac has been restarted, all reconfigured screensharing two through GUI as CLI, 'Account name' and 'Real name' were aligned and put different, none of them work. The firewall is disabled.

    We have another mac that is configured in the same way (same user name, same network,...) where the screen sharing works fine.

    Any pointer very appreciated!

    I had the same problem recently following a power failure.

    What I did to recover was to ensure that my Mac Mini was up and running - visible in the side bar of the finder.

    Then power rolled (stop) OSX on iMac and rebooted.

    Connections has then worked as expected.

    I would add, that my iMac and Mac Mini are running 10.11.5; and Yes, the problem only screen sharing.

  • 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.

  • rejecting the name of user and password in the configuration of the Regional on Pre service

    I have a new meadow and when I go to set up the device with my Exchange provider, I get a message saying that the user name and password is not correct when I click SignIn.  I have confirmed all the settings and typed the password several times.  Same information identification and parameters of working on several other devices (other Palm device, computer laptop, etc.), but not on this unit.  I called my Exchange hosting provider and they said that they got a few other calls from people with the same problem with the Pre and were not able to make it work.

    Is there something specific in the user name and password that the pre is looking for (different from any other device that I use that works very well)?

    Thank you.

    The exact message is: error your user name or password is not correct.

    (I checked so doule that I don't have not misspelled the name of user or password, this same info works on other devices, and my host Exchange could not get another pre to connect also)
