How to erase all my saved passwords or password work?
I've been using saved passwords and am now trying to get the password to warn me before she logs in any site. It does not work so I want to just erase all my saved passwords if this is my only option.
It could happen to be a long story, but...
Most of the sites will keep you connected using a cookie. These cookies can be persistent and be valid for months, they expire at the end of your session or they can be for some specific time. Each site will be a little different, based on their balance of comfort and security.
Logging in manually on a site either clears the cookie, or invalidate the session on the server so that the cookie is no longer bound to a live session upwards, or both.
When you have a cookie that the server still accepts, the site usually does not display the login page, your stored password is never used.
If you want cookies only to be valid for the current session of Firefox, you can change your settings in the Options/preferences dialog box.
button '3-bar' menu > Options / Preferences > Privacy panel
If the selector says "conservation rules: don't forget history" change to "use the custom settings for history". Then, under 'Accept cookies' change the "keep until" affecting "closing of Firefox".
That will not affect the cookies set at present, but in the future, when a site sets a cookie, unless you create an exception specific to the site, it is empty when you exit Firefox.
There is an exception to the general rule: Firefox stores crash data recovery for your windows open and the legs, and keep the session cookies in this file in case restore you your previous session. (For secure sites (HTTPS), cookies are used only in a failback, not a manual restore in the menu background.)
In any case, it is preferable to log out of sensitive sites manually to be sure that nobody can return to these sites.

I've updated firefox and all my saved passwords have been deleated. I have an "old firefox data' folder and read earlier that the logins.json and signons3.txt files can be placed in my new firefox. Does anyone know how to do this?
There is a new Firefox profile folder created?
This "Old data Firefox" folder created recently because Firefox creates this file when you reset Firefox?

I lost all my saved passwords since upgrading to FF, how do I get back them?
I had a lot of saved passwords, they are now all gone. Also, even if I have the box checked to remember passwords, I'm not a guest to see if I want to save or not, and the password I entered earlier today [including this site] are not saved.
I never changed the password in the Options settings, what is happening since the last update.

New version lost all my saved passwords and not save everything - I tried help
Earlier versions of registered FF going on very well, but for the two latest updates that the function has stopped working. I tried the steps in the FAQ "passwords not saved", even changed my story custom to always save settings. I don't care. Don't make passwords or even asking me. All passwords that had been in my profile for the last two years are no longer visible in the window of the options "show saved". Should I uninstall Firefox and start over?

Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).
- Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
- : Uncheck the [] "always use the private browsing mode.
It is possible that there is a problem with signons3.txt (encryption key) and logins.json (encrypted names and passwords) in Firefox.
You can open the logins.json file in Notepad (Firefox/tools > Web Developer) to check its content.
Click on the button to "Pretty Print" to fit the file for readability.
If there are names and passwords encrypted in logins.json there is probably a problem with the signons3.txt file that stores the encryption key.
You can rename the file signons3.txt (key3.db.old) and the logins.json (logins.json.old) file or move these files to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.Rename or delete a file of possible signons.sqlite (signons.sqlite.old) used by older versions of Firefox as well.
You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

Why don't you warn me that update since version 34 to 35 would remove ALL my saved passwords?
Just update Firefox since version 34 version 35. Deleted ALL my stored passwords. Thank you very little.
Fact on both machines. Makes me want to not use Firefox more.
Please remove the addon of passwords do not forget-, then everything should be back to normal again. the addon is more necessary in the current versions since firefox offers you to save passwords on the site out of the box now.

BlackBerry Pearl 8110 Blackberry Smartphones - how to erase all contacts given n?
Hello.
My son has just sold me his BB pearl, the thing is that it's full of all his contacts and media... (photos ermmm I don't really want to take the risk to watch!)
Is there a way to clean all the contacts and the media without seeing them? A bit like a reset to factory or something, can I please?
I can't find anything to be able to do anywhere...!
Thanks much for any help you can give...
Myeika
First, wipe the device using the Options > Security > General settings > press Menu > wipe Handheld.
Will erase all old e-mail, messages, calendar, contacts, preferences and settings of the unit. This does NOT alter the operating system, etc., and you should be backup with an almost new unit later. It will not remove also application your son loaded into the device.
If the images are recorded on a map of media (located behind the battery, do you see one?) that must be removed separately. Go to Options > Media Card > Menu button > Format and move forward. This will reformat the well card as he would a hard drive on your PC.
If you need more help or have any other questions, please after return.
