Firefox 3.6.3 on my Mac (OS 10.6.3) enters my password to a website automatically (as set in Preferences)

I had to change a Username & Password for a site.

Firefox continues to enter the old UN & PW  despite a number of my attempts to change to the new ones.

How can I make this happen?

Thanks!

On most pages, I can highlight text xxx, right-click, and select "Search Google for xxx", and I will get a Google search on the term xxx. From the nytimes.com site, however, I often get taken not to google.com but to google.com/firefox, with an empty search box. This happens maybe 90% of the time, almost always when I've left the NYT home page and I'm reading an individual story. I have no idea why (no idea why google.com/firefox even exists, actually), but it's aggravating that this simple and very useful feature is not working reliably. If I select search engine YYY in the toolbar, "Search YYY for xxx" works just fine. It's only Firefox that does this, only on the NYTimes site, and only with Google as the search engine.

I click "Clear Recent History," check all the boxes, select "Everything" from the drop down menu, and click "Clear Now" and my Firefox will delete my cookies, but it will not delete my browsing history. My browsing history stays. I click the history drop down menu on the top and it still has things I browsed just moments ago.

How do I get my bookmarks to be visible all the time at the side of the main Firefox page? That used to be the case and then I must have done something to remove it.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6 and am having the following problem: Drop-down menus in websites (e.g. the one right below this field) behaving strangely. Every time I click on the arrow to open the drop-down options, the drop-down box with the options starts shaking like crazy, making it barely possible to select the desired option.

== Since I installed Firefox

With certain software bookmarklets, like in Yojumbo, using it causes dozens of tabs to open up in Firefox for Mac.

i had a new hard drive installed recently, and i loaded the newest version of Firefox. older answers to this question said to look at Tools>Options, but there is no Options option on the Tools menu in Firefox 3.6.3. In the latest version of Firefox, how do i set up automatic redirecting?

I am using a Mac OS x (10.6.2). I need to clear the cache in Firefox ver. 3.6.3. Please help. Thank you.

Do you think I have a virus in FF? Each time I load FF, all tabs open correctly, but after about 5 seconds, this electronic melody starts to play, and then, after about 10 seconds, shifts to a siren type of sound. I have deleted FF and reloaded, but still having the issue. It happens whether I have one tab open or several tabs open. I am not having this issue with Chrome, just FF.

I was trying to load a gmail message, locked the computer. Shut down and restarted. Issue started when I loaded FF.

I have a window open with numerous tabs. I open a new window, and the current tabs are replicated - I would expect the new window to be blank - what am I doing wrong? What settings do I need to change. I run Firefox on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS.

Apple safari remembers every one of my frequently used passwords on every web page. I just downloaded and installed version 3.6.3 for Snow Leopard. I transferred all my bookmarks to Firefox yet some websites do not ask to be remembered. I went to your help page and was directed to a "bookmarklet" - but couldn't figure out how to use it???

When I download a photo from gmail, the download list is blank and the photo winds up buried. I want it on my desktop as a first stop.

== Ongoing issue (mine, I assume - not firefox)

Hello. Firefox (and Word 2008 for that matter) has been crashing whenever it tries to load / use a front from the "Franklin Gothic" font family. I've looked around for solutions, but most just recommend removing the font; I'm trying to see how else I can fix the problem, as I need to use Franklin Gothic... a lot.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

I accidentally deleted my favorite locations from my navigation tool bar, and can't find an option to re-install them. How do I do this? I've gone to "view" and "customize," but there is no provision there for doing this

WHen I open certain links that open in a new tab (e.g. my bank statement has a "printable version" option and when I click on that link and it opens in a new tab) firefox suddenly minimizes and becomes a lot smaller. And I have to maximize the screen again and this becomes annoying after a while. What gives?

Oh and I'm running on a Mac (OS X).
