The "Remember my passwords" box keeps rechecking itself after I have unchecked it repeatedly.

I noticed Firefox asking to save my passwords, so I went into Options>Security and unchecked the "Remember passwords for site" box. Now the box keeps rechecking itself and trying to save my passwords again, so I have to keep unchecking it.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't configured properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
