• Firefox does not save passwords

  Problem is... then I updated my Firefox, it does not save passwords. When I enter my login details to any website, Firefox ask even to save them or not. When I check my storage of passwords in Firefox, it is always blank. I tried to reinstall completely, I tried the previous versions, but that did not help. Now I have hopes to solve this problem... so I ask for help here. If you need more information, please ask largely.
  Sorry for my bad English.

  Hey aur1m4z,

  Have you looked at the section of the Base names of users and passwords are not saved ? There are lots of good information in there.

  If it's only a particular site, you experience problems with, you can also delete cookies from this site in order to make the site you not forget if you have created a remember me cookie by visiting to Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" that there could be a "don't remember" cookie for this site.

  Hope this helps!

• Firefox does not save passwords and plays videos without sound

  My firefox is not asking to save passwords since I updated to the latest version. There passwords saved in the earlier version, that work well. but he adds more new passwords. It is not connected with banks and these sites. It does not save password for any site, and it does me not even an option to record. (I kept recording Yes password option). Another problem is that it plays without volume youtube videos while my IE works fine for these Web sites.

• Firefox does not save password

  Firefox does not remember my password even when I click on save password on all websites I visit. Recently, I installed a new computer and copied my old profile folder to the firefox profile folder. I use the latest version of firefox.

  In addition, all Gmail accounts are deleted when I associate different Gmail accounts to a list. But for my username AutoComplete still works.

  See passwords in the password manager?

  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.
  
  Otherwise, you can rename the files to their previous names (signons.sqlite and key3db).

• Firefox does not open. Hangs during 'connection '. Inadmissible even in the process of closing via the Task Manager.

  Yesterday, Firefox does not open. It hangs at the "stage of connection." For hours. It doesn't even turn off using the Manager of tasks for applications or processes, and it hangs almost all other applications. I thought that I managed to save a Word document opened yesterday - it looked like a slow, but normal save during the shot of Firefox, but the document was empty when I restarted my computer.

  Although my machine is not pentium 4 in service, I tried to start by using the configuration of Windows XP/M, I downloaded and re-installed (above) the existing version, I checked that no process of Mozilla turned before trying to start Mozilla and tried to create a new profile. Absolutely no success. Every time (dozens), I tried to start Firefox, I had to force a difficult to exit the application shutdown. I now have this marking Firefox in my taskbar, because I keep forgetting and hit by reflex.

  I am running version 11.0 (at least that's what I just downloaded - I am not positive of what I was running yesterday). My system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i3 2.4 gHz, 4 GB of RAM, 64 bit OS.

  Next option is to restore to an earlier version. If this does not work, I uninstall and start again from scratch.

  I disabled AVG (antivirus free 2012) for 10 minutes, open Firefox and browsed a bit. Close the browser, whereas the temporarily disabled AVG activated itself again and restarted Firefox. Now, it connects perfectly - several times faster than prior to this incident (I have installed v 12.0; previous version was 11.0). I use the Microsoft Firewall, if while the firewall solution suggested above has not worked, he put me on the right track.

• Firefox will not prompt to remember the password even if the box is checked to remember; also, I'm not in private browing mode.

  I go to tools > Options > Security and check 'Remember password' but after visiting another site and enter a password there is no prompt to remember then when I come back to the tool > Options > security, the box is unchecked. All of the suggestions.

  Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I discovered the cause of the problem and that's because I had installed Xfinity constant guard and it was Zap all saved passwords and unchecking the box of Firefox options.

  After that I uninstalled it, Firefox works normally.

• Why Firefox 4.0 does not save passwords even the box is tigged?

  I installed the version of Firefox 4.0 yesterday for the first time. He did not transfer the passwords from IE, only bookmarks. Icuold yesterday save a password, but it doesn't today. When I want to save the password, Firefox don't ask even on this subject. Tool box / Options is tigged. I even tried to take the tigg far and swichts off the Firefox and after you start then putting the tigg in the box, but it did not help. What should I do?

  • Take a look at your Options > privacy > history
  • Make sure that you do not choose "never remember history".
  • If you choose "Use the custom settings for history", make sure that "Permanent Private Browsing Mode" is unchecked.

  Do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site preferences".

  Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

• Firefox does not save my login details

  Firefox does not save my login, so I have to enter my password every time I visit the forum.
  It's a little embarrassing. Tried it on another PC, with IE9, but it's the same thing. Does not resemble a caching problem.
  
  Is it just me or is the way THAT SSO is supposed to work?

  Thank you Billy,
  Unfortunately this hack no longer works (FF > v5), but I found the http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rememberpass module, which did the trick.

• Firefox does not save previous seession Web sites, even if the box is checked.

  I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I'm having two problems since the upgrade:

  1 Firefox saves more websites that I left 0pen from a previous session even if the box is checked to do. In addition, I am never given the option to 'restore previous session' in the menu background. It is always 'ghost' out and cannot be selected in the menu.

  2. when I open Firefox, I use a shortcut or go to the Web browser in any other way, multiple instances are open automatically. I suspect that the number of instances is the number of tabs that I left open in the previous session, but I'm not sure about this. They all open to a blank page, however and do not open Web sites that have been assigned to each tab in the previous session.

  Thank you for your help.

  You can check if the session restore is activated [1].

  It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

  Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
  
  Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs and all tabs open to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

• Firefox does not open a new tab page, but if I use the "right mouse botton"-> "Duplicate tab" as it opens a new tab how can I solve this?

  Firefox does not open a new tab page, when I click on the small + firefox does not respanw, but if I use right mouse botton -> tab double as it opens a new tab how can I solve this?

  Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
  • Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

• Firefox does not save the proxy settings correctly

  I run Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows XP SP3 machine and I am behind a proxy server. We use a proxy script to my usual workingplace. However, on a trip, I have to choose a specific proxy servers IP address. After returning to my Office I change in the script. However, the next day, the settings are back to the IP address again, which means, FF does not save my settings correctly.

  Try:

  • FoxyProxy Standard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/

• Does not save passwords

  I have the 'Remember passwords for sites"and"Use a master password"boxes checked and a password have been correctly set up - but Firefox has stopped from asking me if I want to remember passwords or not and, of course, does not save them.

  I tried to uncheck, clear the master password, cleaning of all passwords in memory then check again and by defining a new master password, but no luck.

  Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

• Firefox 4 does not save tabs even after that I have the settings to display the message "save and exit".

  As the title suggests. Basically after I changed the settings using the "topic: config" method and ONLY the parameters of the topic support told me to change Firefox 4 still does not actually save the legs after leaving. After the reset just FF4 restarts me to my home page. Now, I try only to save anywhere between 2 and 5 to the more tabs.

  Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so it is no longer necessary for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.

  You can use "Firefox > history > restore previous Session" for the previous session.

  There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.
  Another possibility is to use:

  • Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

  If this does not work check that you do not run Firefox in permanent mode of private - browsing using Firefox without saving history .
