On Monday September 25th from 10PM EDT - 12AM EDT (2AM UTC - 4AM UTC on September 26th), we will be performing system maintenance on the Firefox Accounts databases for two hours.

Hello, I just noticed that my version of Firerfox 38 Beta 3 isn't saving passwords to sites that I use regularly. See picture and I'm unable to check Remember Password. Any suggestions or help with this minor issue? Thank You. David

This can happen if you run Firefox in Private Browsing mode (never remember history).

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"
