How do you change the address bar into showing the key symbol, when it only shows the lock symbol?
I want to save my user data to my google mail account. The first time I typed them in, the password dialogue box appeard, but I clicked on something else so it disappeard and since then never showed again on the google mail paige. (It works perfectly normal on other paiges) The mozilla support site said to click on the key symbol in the adress bar, but there is no key symbol only a lock symbol. On other websites both are shown but not on the google mail website. What do I do to open the password dialogue box again? Is there another way than to click on the key symbol? I use mozilla firefox 20.0 on windows 7.

When you go to a website and enter a username and password that haven't been saved, Firefox will ask if you want them remembered. This question appears in an arrow panel connected to the key icon on the address bar. If you click on other things, or switch tabs, then the question will disappear. But as long as you remain on the same web page, the key icon will remain visible so you can bring it up again manually.
If you haven't saved your Gmail username and password, and you're not promted to remember them, see the following article.
Thanks for the answer! But I didn't remain on the same webside so I can't bring it back up again, because the key icon isn't visible anymore. What do I do now?
Did you check and make sure that gmail wasn't saved as an Exception?
Sites where passwords aren't to be saved.
Did you try to log out and login again?
That should bring back the key symbol and allow to save the name and password.
I checked right away, it wasn't saved as an exeption and of course I tried something as simple as logging out and in again..
Try using the Remember Password bookmarklet.
Remember Password bookmarklet:
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
Just drag that Bookmarklet in to your bookmarks, toolbar or drop-down list, and click that Bookmarklet like you would click on a bookmark before you you submit your login to the website.
it didn't work :( btw I also have deleted cookies and cache right away...it didn't change anything eather..
