How can I prevent Firefox to save the things I type in forms or usernames, etc. and show it on the screen?

Firefox continues to display a suggested word, etc. When I type a user name or even when I typed an account number. For example, when I start typing a v, he opens a window & suggests words v I typed before. So how I turned off that?

Hi VJHuff,

I think you're talking to the AutoComplete feature. This article will show you how turn and manage the AutoComplete feature in Firefox. If you talk about names of users and passwords, you can read the article in the Knowledge Base of password manager.

Hope this helps!

  • 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.

I realized how do to hide the menu and tool bars (Options Security - view initial - user interface), however, his inconsistent views of the user.  Recommendations?  Thank you.

    Impossible. To view a PDF file, it must first be registered on the local computer.
    If you want to limit who can open the file and he then discovered you need to use the DRM protection, which is very expensive.

  • How can I stop firefox to recreate the Desktop directory undesired?

    I already have:

    XDG_DESKTOP_DIR = "$HOME".

    on my file ~/.config/user - dirs.dirs. That's not all!

    (With firefox - iceweasel - 27 and debian wheezy with minimal gnome - some may be missing packages)

    A bit, answered my own question...

    If I change the line I mentioned earlier of XDG_DESKTOP_DIR = "$HOME" to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR = "/ home/username" solved the problem.

    I still think it's a bug, since it was supposed to be the same. Maybe something prevents firefox form interpret "$HOME" as it should.

    Thanks for all the help and effort.

    Hi keimanzero, in response to the suggestions of cor - el in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967218#answer-480480 you said you can't run Firefox.

    You don't need to run Firefox to open the folder of your profile (settings file) and rename or delete these files.

    To access this folder, paste this into the start menu search box and press ENTER:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    This should start the folder in a new window. So if you see multiple profile folders, click on in the most recent. Here, you find the prefs.js and user.js files noted by cor - el. A little luck?

  • How can I customize Firefox to remove the function where the gray browser window in order to highlight a question box?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 3 (as I waited if long to do because I could not customize the Firefox of the way I wanted) to Firefox 14.0.1, I had a problem.

    I guess one of the sites I visit to try to emulate Windows, where the background turns gray when he wants that focus you on an area of response. So when I'm on a courier website third (Inbox.com) and delete a message when the message box appears to ask me if I really want to delete the message, the background turns gray while the answer box. It never happened on this site when I used Firefox 3, and I would like to avoid this.

    I tried to handle this with an add-on (Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus), but it doesn't allow me to select the gray part of the screen, the way in which this is the case not requested "pop-ups".

    Y at - it a Firefox setting or an add-on that I can use to keep the background to become "grayed out"?

    Thank you

    You can set the pref prompts.tab_modal.enabled false on the topic: config to return to the alert style former and prompt pop ups, but it crashes Firefox too long this popup is open. Modal windows are specific tab and do not block the user interface.

    Have you tried the Firefox zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom in" all sites using this add-on: NoSquint. After setting your overall zoom level, you can still adjust the zoom on different sites.
    After the installation of NoSquint, click on the % in the bar of the add-on call site preferences, then click the global settings button, then the zoom tab.

    If you do not have the bar the module displayed, you can click the new tab button ("+") or a box empty bar tab to the right of the item and choose the module bar on the shortcut menu.

    You can experiment with sizes greater than 125%, but I wouldn't not much higher than 150% unless you have a large screen high resolution.

    If there are sites that are still a concern, feel free to post their URLs.

    You can find more information about the features of zoom Firefox offer in these articles:

    Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages - to zoom text only

    Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages - to zoom the entire page (including images etc.)
