Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

So after a recent update on my firefox Dev Edition (42.0a2) it wiped my browser without my knowledge and transferred 'old' information to an "Old Firefox" folder on my desktop. I've gotten some of it back but my saved passwords won't transfer. I copy the files from the old folder into my directory but it doesn't show up in browser, nor do any of the passwords autocomplete.

my password wouldn't work to sign in to firefox. so I asked for a reset e-mail, got this message instead: "Account activity notice A device began syncing with the devices connected to your Firefox Account."

What to do? Also, after reinstalling, I set yahoo.com as my home page. what comes up is e-pub reader, WHICH I DO NOT WANT

I recently upgrade my PC, and my old system hard disk is placed as slave in my new PC. Having signons3.txt, key3, and signons.sqlite files from the old firefox, how can i import the saved passwords into the new firefox 41.0?

Thank you.

before update to version 41.0, username/password saving mechanism works good. but after update to firefox 41.0, when I select "Remember passwords for sites", the username/password appear in different input box in different page. e.g. in below input, I added attribute "input autocomplete="off" ", but the username also appear which should not here for saved username in other page :(

saved page user_name: <input id="j_username" name="j_username" class="text required" placeholder="Username" autocomplete="off" type="text">

but saved username appear in another page of input box: <input autocomplete="off" class="input-text username1" type="text">

when using version 40.00.xx, no this problem

I will soon be getting a new computer. Having a large number of websites and respective access passwords saved in Firefox Mozilla, it would be very convenient to be able to export this information to the new machine after installing Firefox, as one can do with Bookmarks. Is this possible for websites+passwords?

Someone else used my computer to log in to their gmail account a long time ago. Now, everytime I want to log in to my gmail account, their profile pops up. I can't log in to delete it, and it is annoying because I'm always asked to log in to their email first...rather than my own. I could easily delete the user when I log on using google chrome...

I am migrating from an older system to a newer system.

I need the location of the password file, please.

I tried to migrate and overwrite the entire Firefox folder, but the passwords weren't transferred?

I cannot use sync on the cloud. This is a secured laptop and the Cloud doesn't offer sufficient safeguards.

TIA.

I use firefox sync across Windows and Mac. In both I've UN-selected the option for "remember site passwords". Today, every time I open FF this option has been changed so that FF prompts me to remember a password. I've repeated the process multiple times but the behavior continues.

This is similar but different than my earlier question. On one computer when I open Firefox it automatically logs me into my home page (a Yahoo mail account.) When I open a new tab to my gmail login it comes up with my user name already filled in. All I have to do is click on NEXT and it goes to the sign in page with my password filled in. I can't get firefox on my my other computer to do this. My home page comes up with my user name filled in, but I have to manually go through the login process. When I open gmail in a new tab, I can't do anything except: 1. hit ENTER and get an error message, then click in the username box, or 2. re-click on the gmail icon to re-open the tab. Once I have done either of these the page comes up with two login names -the correct one and some weird one. (I haven't been able to get rid of the weird name, either.) I'd like to be able to set things so Firefox will do the same on this computer as it does on the other one.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm using windows 7. Firefox version 44.ob1 when I go to options/security to look at my usernames, I no longer have the option to show passwords. they now show up as blacked out dots along the same line. Is this working correctly?

Since the windows 10 upgrade,here is what has happened. 1. My Android smart phone has tried to sync with my laptop. Yahoo mail is my default. 2. Google and Yahoo mail work fine on my phone. 3. I never set up a "MASTER" password for Firefox. 4. Firefox recognizes my email for yahoo but not my p/w. 5. The p/w that I have been using for 9 years is not recognized for Firefox. BUT I used it for this forum. 6. Every time I use a p/w I get the message to log in with my Master p/w. I choose cancel. Then continue. 7. How can I reset, hopefully "WITHOUT LOOSING MY FAVORITES"

Ok a couple of days ago I had to do a refresh on firefox has I was getting very slow speeds with a lot of sites, which actually fixed the problem but now iv got a bigger problem that is now firefox will NEVER remember none of my passwords, and I don't even get the box asking would I like to save passwords.

Iv check all the settings ie Private browsing is set to off / Remember log in sites is checked, made sure that clear settings was all turned off when shutting off FireFox ect ect, and even when i open up the saved logins tab the box is blank, tried to import saved passwords from MS + Chrome ( not at the same time ) it tells me that its done but still nothing shows up and still doesn't remember any passwords when logging in to sites.

I don't have any other password mangers on my system so there is no conflicts at all, everything was working fine apart from slow surfing before I done this refresh

Even with the check in the box to remember, Firefox will not remember user name or password for any web site I log into. It will ask me if I want it to remember, to which I click remember. but it never show's up in my Saved Password List, and it never remembers user name or password.

I have followed the support links and went over in detail multiple times.

This is a new setup, on windows 10 pro and FF 43, Vipre internet security. I did look at vipre but didnt see anything about saving passwords in a browser. Edge, and Chrome will remember them. Just firefox wont. so it dont appear to be an outside force causing the problem.

I tried setting a master password. it remembered that, but didnt change anything. so I removed the master password.

Thanks in advance! Tom

A neighbor used my computer to access her gmail account. Now when I try to access MY account on MY computer, it automatically opens her account.

How can I get her account to stop appearing on my computer?

My old computer died...with no Firefox profile backup. The good news is that I was able to access my old hard drive. I copied and transferred key3.db, logins.json and signons.sqlite to what I believe is the new profile --

C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ga6szcbd.default-12345

(key3.db and logins.json have a date of 1/16/2016, and signons.sqlite has a date of 9/1/2014, if that matters.)

When I open Firefox, however, the passwords do not appear. I'd appreciate it anyone could point me in a direction that will solve my problem.

Thanks!

I have looked at the information for having my password remembered, but the box asking me if I would like for Firefox to remember it never shows up. I am probably missing something very simple, but I am not sure what it is!

I've seen a lot or articles on all sorts of items about saved PWs but simply cannot find anything that shows me how to actually use the saved PWs. Help! Thank you.

Hell, suddenly all my logins and the passwords of the profiles have disappeared. As I don't remember them all, is there a way to retreive them again? Any back up of Firefox that I can use?

Thanks a lot! Marcello
