Firefox Support Forum

Hello.

I believe one of the recent updates is causing the "Remember Logins for Sites" to be disabled every time I restart my computer. I'll test if it's also when I restart FF, (I restated FF on my laptop and RLFS was left on) . I noticed it because passwords were not being populated automatically (like usual). I found this option off, and turning it back on, allowed the pw fields to be auto populated again. However, after every restart, "Remember Logins for Sites" is off again. It is also happening on my wife's laptop.

Thank you team FF.

I want Firefox to remember my history at websites so I don't have to keep entering my username and passwords. I go into the Menu, click on Options, then Privacy, then choose the option to have Firefox remember my history. After that it works fine. However, when I shut off my computer and then turn it on again later the settings that I chose (to remember history) haven't been saved and I have to go through that whole process of Options, Privacy, Remember My History all over again. How can I get Firefox to remember/save my settings so I don't have to do this each time I turn on my computer? Thanks for any help you can provide on this.

Ever since Firefox updated to 45.0.2, the Remember logins for sites check box is unchecked by default. I have to manually go into Security to check the box. Is there a way to make it checked by default

Please advise.

Thank you.

After recent upgrade to Firefox 46.0 and 46.0.1 the "Remember Logins for sites" box in Tools, Options, Privacy, Logins, now only remains checked while the computer remains on. When shut down, upon restart the box is unchecked and I have to manually recheck it. It does remain checked if I just close Firefox and then restart Firefox, as long as I don't turn off the computer. This did not happen prior to latest Firefox 46.0. I do not use Trend Micro Security Password Manager, as has been noted in other posts about this same topic.

I've been having a great deal of trouble with Firefox lately on my MS Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10. It began with my passwords not automatically filling in. I tick the check box and next time I start Firefox, it's unchecked. I tried all of the troubleshooting ideas I could find here and none of them worked. I tried refreshing. I tried safe mode. I even uninstalled Firefox and deleted the Mozilla folder in %appdata%. Reinstalling a fresh version of Firefox with no add-ons, no extensions and sync turned off still didn't fix the problem. To add to my woes, today I am unable to search from the Firefox start page. When I type a search term, the progress indicator just swirls away and nothing happens. The same goes if I type the search in the address bar or the search box in the new tab page. If I open up a Google page, the search works fine. There's obviously something on my system that is interfering with Firefox, but for the life of me, I don't know what it is. The only thing that comes to mind is my antivirus, Trend Micro, but disabling it didn't help. The issue with the passwords started a little over a week ago (at least, that's when I noticed it) and I only noticed the search problem today.

When I check the box for "Remember logins for sites," everything works just as it supposed to. But when I close/restart Firefox, the selection is deleted, and I have to go in and recheck the box for each session. How do I make my selection permanent?

Every time I open the Firefox browser, I have to go into Tools, Options, Security and click on Remember Logins for Sites. Every time I close Firefox, this preference disappears so I have to go in again.

I already have refreshed/downloaded a new version of Firefox.

when i close f/f, the "remember log in for sites" unticks itself, so once i start f/f again no log in names/ password are saved, i have to go in to options/security, tick the box, & all the log in names /passwords are there, (version 45.0.2)

The setting in security to remember logins will not stay set. I have reset Firefox and deleted the options file and none of this helped. This just started, was never a problem before. System is Windows 10 with all the latest updates.

When I log in to Firefox I have to go to the Options tab and check the "Remember logins for sites" under Security every time. I have tried refreshing Firefox, but this didn't help. The only changes I have made recently to my add-ons, etc. is that I have upgraded to version 45.0.2. The problem is occurring on both my home desktop computer and my laptop computer.

It's the option settings keep changing. There is only 2 settings that keep changing, one in privacy (remember history) and one in security (remember login from sites). After you refresh Firefox they are O.K. but restart and you get privacy (use custom settings) and security (remember login from sites is unchecked). Every time you start Firefox you have to go into options and check remember history and check remember login from sites.

I am tearing what hair I have left out! For some unknown reason, the Security setting 'Remember logins for sites' is being reset either at computer shutdown or startup. The setting appears to be remembered between sessions though.

In security section, I check the box to save passwords. Everything works fine, until I close firefox. The next time I open firefox, the security box for save password is no longer checked. I can't save the option to save passwords.

In Options / Security, I select Remember Login for Sites and my passwords work just fine. However, after a few hours it returns back to being unchecked and I have to keep clicking it back on several times a day.

Two week old HP all in one, fresh FF install setup as default. I would like it to remember passwords, etc, but every time I restart I have to go back and re-select that function. All of the passwords are there in the appropriate registry so once re-selected the function performs normally.

Firefox is now requiring me to go in to "Options" and select "Remember my logins" and "Remember forms" EVERY SINGLE TIME I use my computer, even if it only fell asleep and was not re-started. This is beyond frustrating. Why the change? Can it be changed back to the way it was? I don't want to have to keep entering my bank routing numbers EVERY TIME I want to pay my mortgage!

This appeared to happen after a recent update as others have said and it is BEYOND annoying. I am a senior citizen and am not fond of having enter my logins and passwords EVERY time I go to a site. I understand about banks and other groups not allowing this information to be stored but other regular sites that I visit DAILY used to allow it. Please correct this mess and/or tell all of us how to detect what sites are SUDDENLY not allowing this information to be stored. Are they not required to reveal that they have this restriction somewhere on their site? Correcting this would save us from endless hours of frustration and time trying to find the answer. Thank you for your help!

I try to log in were I need to use my user name and password I have to reenter it! The password and user name were saved or( Remembered) but the check mark will not stay in the box to remember my logins, that is in the (SECURITY) section. This has happened with the last up-date, I tried to redo the up-date but that did not fix it!
