• Impossible to get Firefox to remember passwords

  Recently, I had a total crash. Reference Dell should replace the entire machine. On the older machine I was running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit. Now I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. On the older machine Firefox asked if I wanted to that it to remember the password. On the new machine that does not happen. "Remember passwords for Sites" is turned on. I'm not running in private browsing mode. I had to give up Firefox and go back to IE. Is not a happy choice.

  Have you moved all the files from the old computer to the new computer or did you start with a new Firefox profile?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

  It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
  
  In the Firefox profile folder, rename the files key3db and signons.sqlite.
  
  You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.
  
  You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.
  
  If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

• Is it possible to set Firefox to remember the story for a while rather than all or nothing?

  In previous versions, there was a choice to remember the navigation history for a number of days, but in the current version, the only choices seem to be remembering the story or don't remember the story, with no way to customize in the meantime. I don't want to have to clear my history and cache manually all the time, but I don't want not erased whenever I close the browser, either. Customization feature has been removed entirely, or have I missed something? And if she was completely removed, could it please be reduced? It is useful for those who want their browsing history more old should be deleted without deleting the history.

• Is there a way to get Firefox to remember the password on a site that was chosen as "never" or "not now".

  Remember passwords works OK for a new site. I have been using a different password manager and did not want Firefox to remember passwords, but now with sync option would get Firefox to remember passwords once connections, I marked "never" or "not now".

  If you chose 'not now' it should ask you every time. The only time where it is not supposed to ask is if he did not remember a password, or you have already told him 'never '.

  Despite everything, go to tools-> Options (or editing-> Preferences if you do not see 'Options' from the Tools menu) click the 'Security' tab, and then search for the [Exceptions] button and click it. You will see the list of sites you said FF never to remember a password. Select the one you want, or all of them, and then click the [Remove] button.

  Revisit the site, and when you enter the password and press enter or click to connect, it should encourage them to remember this password.

• I use ff 24.0 and how automatically remember passwords without busting the icon 'Remember password' outside?

  I want firefox automatically remember passwords without hitting the icon "Save password". Anyone know how?

  It is not possible. It would be a security risk, image you are on another computer (public). It would be too easy to collect passwords, so you must take this extra step to store a new password.

• How can I force Firefox to download mp3 files and NOT play?

  Hi guys,.

  I couldn't change the settings of Firefox in this way, that it does not play mp3 files at all (in any kind of player), but allows to decide what with them for example to download the file.

  What I actually did:

  - changed at settings, that I want a dialog or download any file type and NOT use any other option (yes, all of them - not any kind of effect was seen there...)
  - changed especially all mp3-related options to download
  - deactivated ALL plugins and addons
  - about:config -> media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
  - uninstalled ALL types of mediaplayers (Winamp, VLC etc.), but not WMP because it would be very complicated and would cause several bugs
  

  Many updates before (I think it's up to 20 FF or if) you could simply tell FF, I tried to download the file via the settings and now it isn't.

  Is it possible to left I can force Firefox to NOT READ mp3 files in any player and offer my the possibility to download?

  Please do NOT give answers like:

  - right click on the file and save it as ... I allready know that and do not want to use that solution. A few years before it was possible, so it should also be possible to directly click at the file and decide what to do with it. On all the sites I want to use it the possibilities are given and not blocked by the sites or implementations itself.
  

  I thank very you much for your help in advance. I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this question for months...

  Hello TurZ, please set media.windows - media - foundation.enabled back to its default value and turn media.play - stand alone false instead.

• The box that asks if I'd like firefox to remember this password is not pop up, how to activate it?

  I need to know how to activate the box that asks if I'd like firefox to remember this password.

  Normally when you install Firefox this feature is enabled by default. You can check the status in the Options dialog box:

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > Security tab

  In the second section, there is a checkbox for "Remember passwords for sites". These articles have more information:

  • Password Manager - don't forget, delete, modify and import passwords saved in Firefox
  • Use a master password to protect stored passwords and logins

  Now... some websites add code to the fields on their forms to block the AutoComplete (which blocks also save connections), so that you can find some sites where Firefox will not save the password for this reason. It may be some workaround solutions, we discussed several times for Yahoo! mail, for example, but since they are long to describe, please post if the problem is specific to the site and provide if possible a link to the login form.

• Firefox does not remember my cookies, even if I choose history does not forget and remember passwords for sites.

  I choose to remember the story in the Privacy tab and remember passwords for sites on the Security tab in the Options, but when I close Firefox, it doesn't remember my cookies and I have to make the connections manually everytime I open Firefox.

  In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

  • do not delete 'Cookies' and 'Site preferences.
  • Tools > Options > Privacy: history: [X] clear history of Firefox closing > settings
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/clear+recent+history

  Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

  If clearing cookies doesn't work, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

  Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other files to present as cookie cookies.sqlite - journal in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.
