For details on using this feature see the Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox article.

Hi Tony,

Have read article several times. Can't work out how I know if a site has barred password saving? Also checked exceptions list - nothing recorded. Sites I have previously not saved passwords for still will not let me save them now. Is the exceptions list the only was this can be reset?

Sorry to be a bit of a dummy.

Chris.

Did you make sure that you haven't set exceptions for those websites?

Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions

Also make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode

• You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
• To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
• Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Thanks, computers a bit hi tech for me but I can fix broken steam engines!

Do you have that problem on all sites or only on a specific website?

If the latter is the case then please provide for link. Then we can check the code on that web page.

I had this problem too but I seem to have solved it. I went to the Privacy settings in Firefox Preferences clicked on 'Use Custom settings for history' and discovered that I was configured to 'Automatically start Firefox in private browsing'. I unchecked this preference and restarted Firefox and everything works fine now
