• Whenever I update FireFox all my usernames and passwords vanish in password manager

  For several updates recent Firefox all my usernames and passwords (stored in password manager) disappear. I was able to recover them by exchanging one or more of the three files to a previous version ('Key3db', 'Logins.json' and 'Prefs.js') until this WHAT THE LAST THREE OR FOUR updates. This patch no longer works and I hesitate so far. I would like to know... a) this bug has been fixed?
  (b) if it is not, how can I keep my ID & password somewhere else so I can quickly re - install, or at least see them in a list so I can manually copy all back in?
  (c) how to prevent a pop-up annoying telling me to update to FireFox (other than by the update)?

  I used FireFox with happiness for many years, but this problem is very annoying and I am looking to change (with great reluctance) to another browser if an other update loses all usernames and passwords, and I have to re - install an older version to get back them.

• Why firefox does not save some username and passwords and names of other not - especially for the same website?

  I use several different accounts LogMeIn, each with their own username and password. Is there a month, Firefox stopped asking to save the user name and password for the new accounts I have access. I even deleted all accounts and began more - most of the time I will ask you to save the information of connection but other LogMeIn accounts that I access Firefox will not be asked to save the passwords. You can provide any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I had this taken care. After removing all the old names of login and passwords, you must restart Firefox with a hot start.

• When they surf on the web as an administrator, Firefox remembers usernames and password, but when words I surfed as a standard user, it doesn't.

  Before Firefox updated to 6, my user ID and passwords that I had saved, or ask the site to remember was always available. If I close the browser and later began a new session, my ID's were still on the Web site when I went to them. After yesterday, 31/08/2011, updated at 6, when I close the browser after a session, usernames and passwords are gone and must be re-entered. This only happens when I sail as a "standard" user If I surf the web as administrator, all my saved info is still there.

  No worries; Type "subject: config" into your address bar, and you should get an alert guarantee invalidated. I leave the checkmark in the box for warn me next time.

  After you click "I'll be careful", Firefox shows you multiple options, I'm guessing around 1500. Entering 'form' in the filter will only display options containing this string. Options I searched automatically deal with remembering the info you repeatedly enter in web forms.

  Some changes require a reboot, and I'm not hip to that. At least in this case, you will still restart to see if it worked.

  It is also critical that navigating the Windows registry, but the same kind of precautions apply; You can seriously break your stuff here. Just like Windows and the registry, a clean reinstall can fix everything you break here, but it's always a concern that you would avoid instead. Be careful and patient.

  Take notes, which you change the value, so you can change back - right click to copy the name of the option, its value or both, thus facilitating a list of notebook. Remember that you may need to change a couple.

  I am not sure that these options can relieve your frustrations, but this is my last idea in addition to a clean reinstall of Firefox.

• I set up a shared folder in my office, but it sometimes requires a username and password...

  How to turn power off, or find the user name and password? No one in the office is very technical interest, took me about a week to find a way to make the record! Computers are old, and due to changes in staff all original usernames and passwords probably belonging to someone is no longer with the company.

  Help!

  It lacks a lot of useful info, but I'll make a lot of assumptions...  First, I'll assume that you share a folder on a Windows XP computer and not a network (NAS) storage device.  Secondly, I will assume that this XP machine not use XP Home and XP Pro.  Finally, I'll assume that "Simple file sharing" has been disabled on this machine.

  In those circumstances, the rules allowing to authenticate the sharing machine go something like this:

  1. If the serving machine file has the same username and password as the user, then the connection is established without command prompt and the user authenticates as himself and has appropriate access
  2. If the machine portion of the file has the same user name, but the password is not the same, the connection is refused.
  3. If there is no user on the service machine, and that the guest account is active (and not passworded), then the user authenticate as 'Guest' with no other guests.
  4. If the 'Guest' user is not active on the file-hosting of the machine, then a username / password screen appears for a valid identification for the host computer.

  So, it would seem that sometimes you are down to #4.  So to avoid this, make sure that something in steps 1, 2 or 3 is true.  Note that if Simple file sharing is enabled on the file serving machine, then all connections to authenticate as a 'Guest' account - which implies that all people will always connect in the same way what is expected by your 'sometimes' in the subject line.

• Is there a way to force Firefox 4 to offer to remember and to remember usernames and passwords for sites that use the AutoComplete mechanism to block these offers and memories?

  locked by a moderator, 07/02/2012 - has survived its usefulness

  In Firefox 3.6.16 (and probably other earlier versions) could force FF to offer to remember usernames and passwords for many sites by editing the file ...\Mozilla Firefox\components \nsLoginManager.js to ignore site - asked deactivate autocomplete (_isAutocompleteDisabled returns false).

  FireFox 4 does not use this file, or a similar one that I could find.

  The result (FF ignores site trying to disable AutoComplete) is possible in another way or by editing another file?

  This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete = "off" temporarily, allows to save passwords even on sites that use autocomplete = "off".

  Don't forget to bookmark password:

• Firefox starts on the computer, but will not be displayed on the screen

  Firefox is loaded on a dell Windows XP computer; It works fine one day. The next day I had cleaned up cookies and temporary files when I clicked on the icon, it acted like it was running, but would never appear on the screen. When I went to start it again it told me he was running, but I still don't see the program.
  I had to reboot the computer, but when I tried to start it again, it did exactly the same thing.

  After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the folder of the program "Mozilla Firefox", located by default in one of the following locations:

  • (Windows 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  • (On 64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
  1. Go to the Windows Start menu and click on 'computer '.
  2. In the Explorer window that opens, double-click on disk Local (c) to open the C:\ drive.

     • On 64-bit Windows, you'll see a folder "Program Files (x 86)" AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the Program Files (x 86) folder.
  4. You are looking for a folder of Mozilla Firefox . If you find one, right click and select delete and confirm that you want to move the folder to the trash.

  Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:

  1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.

• If Google is encrypted on Firefox, what about Yahoo? And that, said the do not active channel followed just the opposite. Help, please!

  If Google is encrypted, what about Yahoo? In addition, said do not select do not follow because it activates the contrary - at least with Google - all comments?
  Thank you.

  The setting of 'Do not Track' is a feature of private life, the effectiveness of which depends on the destination site. If you choose to have Firefox send one request of 'Do not track', it is up to the site to honor this request. Some, some will not.

  I don't know what Google does in response to the TSD, but if you are connected to your Google account when searching, so of course what you do are already linked to your account...

  About Yahoo, search Yahoo via a secure connection? You might install or create a custom search plugin that uses the HTTPS protocol rather HTTP if your search bar and address bar searches are automatically encrypted. I would like to know if that's what you had in mind.
