Not sure what has happened, but Firefox will not remember my username and passwords and I don't know how to fix it.

HELP PLEASE!

Does it ask you to save the password and doesn't save it after choosing Save, or does it just not ask to save any passwords?

it just does not ask to save the passwords anymore

Open up Firefox. Go to Tools > Options. Click on the Security tab. Put a check mark next to Remember Passwords for Sites.

It is already checked! Hmmm!

Create new profile: http://kb.mozillazin...Profile_Manager (half way down).

[moondog830]

GACK! I can't get to that either .... it is NOT an option for me.

[Broni]

What do you mean?

[moondog830]

Okay, now I've got my head on straight .... I started a new profile .... now how do I transfer all my bookmarks etc... from my old profile to the new one?

[Broni]

Does new profile work fine?
If so: http://kb.mozillazin...ofile_-_Firefox

[moondog830]

Okay, I've done that, but some of the 'buttons' I created to places I go a lot don't work and when I go to organize my bookmarks I have no way to change the 'link' (as it is blank).

[Broni]

If so, I'd backup all FF data with MozBackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/, and go for clean FF reinstall: http://kb.mozillazin...talling_Firefox

[moondog830]

did the backup and the clean install and it still doesn't work right.

some of the sites I go to, my usernames and passwords are there and all I have to do is click on the "login" button.

other sites say "session expired"

other sites don't have my username and passwords in the boxes

would it help if I list some of the sites of each?

Now, wait a sec....
If:

my usernames and passwords are there

that means, you didn't perform CLEAN reinstall, as described in my link.

[moondog830]

Sorry, going to do it again and make sure I follow the steps all the way .... maybe I missed something before.
