my new version of firefox will not save my user name and passwords - why?

My version before I updated to 4 saved all my usernames and passwords. Since the update to version 4, it records only a few. I checked that I'm not running in privacy mode and have checked remember passwords and have a master password in the Security section. I have a laptop with Windows Vista.

Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.

If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

If a Web site creates the login via JavaScript form then the password manager does not offer to store both passwords (Bug 518516).

    It works very well with Firefox 8. It seems that your Firefox browser has a problem with javascript. Check if Javascript is enabled or not in your Firefox browser.

  • In my list of registered passwords/user names, my user name for some sites is listed as "password" instead of my real username. He does not save my user name or password for these sites, even if I told.

    I have a forum site that I visit at least a few times a day and I told both the site and the firefox popup to remember my username and password. He used to save, but it stopped working in recent weeks. When I go to my saved usernames and passwords (Tools-> options-> Security-> saved passwords), it shows the username for this site as "Password" (obviously NOT my username). I tried the white list of the site (in case my flash blocker was the problem), reload the page and eliminate information saved and entering again. So far I have not been able to find something that works.

    Try to use the extension of the saved password Editor, which allows you to change the existing passwords and manually add new.

  • Machine Vista "frequently", but not always, ask user name and password to access the public folders on the XP machine.

    Location:

    4 x Vista computers
    1 x XP computer acting as a server file, all the data in the "shared folders".

    All 4 Vista computers were to access shared data on the XP machine for two years without problem. All of a sudden this week one of the Vista computers "Frequently" but not always ask for a username and password to access the machine XP - not only shared folders, but still a list of shared resources on the machine XP via my network places is the result in the box of "connect to" request credentials to appear. All 3 other Vista machines have no problem to access the XP machine, so the problem must be with the a Vista machine.

    To put a spanner in the works as I have said in this case "Frequently" and by that I mean probably 9 of the 10 connection attempts. Let's say, you can see the name of the computer in my network places, you double click it and have asked for credentials, cancel the attempt and to repeat 4 or 5 times and then you could get display shared resources without going into the details of connection. For a few minutes, you might be able to access all the shared data and to navigate through the folders, but then all of a sudden have asked you credentials and can not access to anything, even the files accessed you seconds before.

    Lets say you are able to access the shared folders, you navigate to the Parent folder, then under A folder, then a subfolder B, go back to A notebook, then try to access folder B even once and you get guest credentials, quit out of the network completely locations, navigate back to the XP via Network Places and this machine you not even be able to display all the shared resources on the XP machine.

    I've also set up a shared folder on a Vista machine with matching username and password on the machines and the Vista machine with the get the problem exactly the same problem so this definatley Vista machine with the question and not sharing files on the XP machine.

  • At the start of webcenter field, how not to enter user name and password?

    Dear all,

    I followed this link from http://yonaweb.be/start_webcenter_domain in my field webcenter installation and I managed to put my own webcenter and explore the busy webcenter spaces.

    My only concern is that when I start my webcenter field he always asks for the user id and password for the weblogic.

    I created a small batch for this file.
    call C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\webcenter_domain\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd WC_Spaces http://localhost:7001
    But how do I get away from type the user id and password?

    Thank you

    Otherwise, you can specify the user name and password in the properties of your domain's initialization file.

    \user_projects\domains\dryrun_domain\servers\AdminServer\security\boot. Properties.

    # Generated by SCW on sea
    user name = {ESA} dbjKVafUpVLPvTG04tGl12RJRCaYmU5dmv2Yw =
    password = {ESA} 5WHBgndS2Fq2uoiIKKWI + rM2uwTPAYQ0I =

    Replace the username and password with your credentials.

    There's a tutorial with screenshots that describes how to do this here:

  • FF maintains user names and password. There are saved but do not work on a second opening of FF

    When I started using a given FF web page asks if I want to save the user name and password. I select Yes and they are stored in the tools options passwords but most will not work on a second opening the page. E Bay is the only one that works.

    I have removed everything several times and still wonder if I want to save the UN and PW but again, they do not work.

    However when I type the first letter of my United Nations he suggests the full name and fills the password. So I know that information is stored is simply not provide as expected.

    OS XP Home browser FF

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.

    If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.

    Websites to remember you and automatically log you in are stored in a cookie.

    • Create a cookie exception allow (Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such cookies, especially for sites Web secure and if the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox in private browsing mode.

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

  • Unable to connect to a dial-up connection does not require a user id and password.

    It's kind of a weird question.  I have a new vista machine, and a user must always connect to a Government to start the connection via modem.  In XP, we used hyperterminal and everything worked well.  As hyperterminal is not available under Vista, we spent some time trying to get the vista switched from work.  He composed, negotiates, but when it comes to 'verification of the user name and password' connection failed after that right.  He has not set password to connect, the password entered only after you connect and you select the option to connect.

    Now, I copied Hyperterminal from a XP machine and was able to connect.  But using hyperterminal, none of the shortcuts that I do can be used.  They all come with "could not read session file: c:\. "c:\session.ht".ht."  I changed the location of the shortcut, the location of the hypertrm.exe, departure to the target location, etc...  The only way to get a recorded session to run is to open hyperterminal, and then click file, open and point to the location of the session.ht file.  It works, I suppose, but its not just a lot more, especially since this is not until the last the default location that you opened a file from.

    Ideally, I would like to use the connection to start menu.  Is it possible to force the connection does not send a user name and password?  He always says "verifying username and password" even though I left the empty boxes.  Or is this another problem with Vista and dial upward?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I thought about it... a bit, I've found a workaround.

    You can call hyperterminal for the prompt, using:
    Hypertrm c:\myfile.ht

    You open hyperterminal as we are used to having open when you click the .ht file in XP.

    Knowing this, you can create a shortcut to hyperterminal which calls the hypertrm.exe AND the .ht file

    Mine is:
    C:\Windows\System32\hypertrm.exe c:\Windows\System32\ohip.ht

    Bloody Government and their former systems eh?

    I hope this helps!

  • Deleted user names and passwords will not apear on a list in the form, but if I start typing them they apear

    Deleted user names and passwords will not apear on a list in the form, but if I start typing them they same apear if I deleted the history. I encountered this problem on several computers: a PC with XP, one with Windows 7 and Mac so I know for some there is a firefox problem. Somehow the passwords and user names remain stored even if previously deleted. I want to sell my PC but I can not because of security risks. Of course, the problem could be solved by formatting the HARD drive and reinstall the OS, but I want to know how to solve the problem without doing. I've tried everything and still they stay... Please help me... and I want to know if anyone else has this problem. Thank you!

    If the names and passwords still show in the password manager so that they are not deleted.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager

    If you don't see them in the password manager, but they still fill then you either they have saved in form or you have an extension that has saved this data.

  • How can I download the new update on my Macbook pro when the password is not working? When I connect to the Adobe site with the same user name and password it DOES not work. I don't understand why.

    So I have a macbook pro - and she advised me that I had to update my Adobe flash player. So I go through all the steps and I'm stuck at the last stage, where he asks me my user name and password. I go in there correctly - several times and it does NOT connect. He shakes to show that there's an error. Double check my file AND I go to the Adobe site to connect with the same information. and it works very well.

    WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Help please.

    Could you please try ComputerName administrator as username and the password as password.

    I hope this works.

  • Is it possible for Firefox to remember multiple combinations of name and password of the user to a Web site?

    My husband and I use Yahoo! Mail, but each has our own account. We are constantly put in front and in back. Enter the full name of the user and the password by hand each time it's boring, but it's not fair for one of us to have Mozilla to remember the user name and password. It would be great if there was a way for Mozilla to memorize our usernames and passwords. No idea if there is a way to do something like that? Thank you!

    30 Firefox should be able to store more than one name and password to the Yahoo site.
    Firefox should offer to store the name and the password for the other institutions.

    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.
