Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

I'm operating in Windows 7 and recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.3. I can no longer save my passwords. I've tried the fixes on line, but they make no sense.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I upgraded to 3.6.3

I have already clicked "save passwords" long ago, and that hasn't made any difference. I get the box at the top of the browser that asks if I want to save this password, but when I click it, nothing happens. However, if I choose "save later" or "never", that works fine. There has to be something better than the oblique threads I get sent to troubleshoot this.

Do you see any passwords in the Firefox Password Manager? Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

If not then delete key3.db and signons.sqlite as suggested in the Troubleshooting section. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager (Troubleshooting)

You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and you lose all your currently saved passwords. See also Use a Primary Password to protect stored logins and passwords

I have the same problem and I can verify that all of my passwords are still in the database. Also on some web sites, if I type in the user ID and then press TAB, Firefox then suddenly remembers it knows the password.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode. You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
