I have a website that I want to save my login details but there is no "key" in the top left-hand corner. How do I get around this? I am using version 35.
This particular website previously had a "wrong" password. No matter how many times I changed the password, the website failed to issue a "Changed password" update. So I removed it altogether. Now the website doesn't appear in any of the Options screens and there is no "key" in the left hand corner so I am unable to save either login or password. I am using the latest version of Firefox ... ver. 35.0.1

Did you check the exceptions?
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
- Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
- Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
- Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
You can inspect and manage permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.
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"
Sorry Cor-el, I'd been through all that with no success. This particular website doesn't ask to save the password until after the NEXT screen loaded once into the website. By that stage it's too late and the wrong password gets saved. Conversely then, is there any way to MANUALLY change a password that's been recorded/saved?
