• 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.

• The new version of Firefox is to save my passwords even if it is not checked in the security option? In some cases, also to save my customer number? Nor is it necessary

  The new version of Firfox save my passwords and in some cases, my customer identification numbers, even if the passwords for this site "Remember" in the security option is not checked. I don't use a master password. There are no entries in the list "password saved" so I'm not able to remove supposedly saved passwords.

  To determine if one of your extensions could make logging in, could test you the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?
