hello, firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel).

Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track

Hi   !
Go to the 3-bar menu ( ) -> Options -> Security -> and check the box that says   'Remember logins for sites'
See the article   'Password Manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passowrds in Firefox'     http://mzl.la/1QTGGxf

In what way is Firefox slow?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
