DISQUS

Melvin · 3 years ago

Help me please...
I just installed Firefox 2.0, and all of a sudden, my username/password isn't being inserted in the signon window (it always was before). I tried the usual suspects--I did not mistakenly tell FF not to remember the password for this site; and I also tried the remember password bookmarklet, but all to no avail--FF will not ask me to remember this password. What do I need to do to get around this?

I had the same problem and your solution worked like a charm. Thanks much!

Please add firefox cookies/bad web sites immunization in next version!
Firefox 2 cannot reject third party cookies!!!!!!!!

By the way, the final version of Firefox 2.0 offers an easier way to do this. Go to "Tools | Options" (or "Firefox | Preferences" if on a Mac) and on the Main tab, set "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

Melvin, on which website are you having this problem?

Try checking the Security tab on Firefox Options. Make sure "Remember passwords for sites" is checked and make sure the website isn't listed under "Exceptions."

@sassycapri:

Glad to be of help. Please note there's an even easier way to do this on the final version of Firefox 2.0.

Perfect! Thanks again.

Melvin:

Some sites instruct the browser to not allow saving the password. This can be overridden using one of many available extensions in addons.mozilla.org, such as the one called "Annoyance Remover".

Show my windows and tabs from last time doesn't seem to work when the entire system has to restart. Will anything work at that point? At times, Firefox becomes so full up that I have to close, at which point it gives you that "firefox is closing" choose to end now or not. It doesn't seem to save so I tried rebooting the whole computer. Which option will allow the tabs to actually be saved?
