I am not able to get firefox 3.5 to remember passwords


I THINK I have done what is required I am running XP Pro recently ebay remembered my password and photo.net was erratic- sometimes did sometimes not I went into the tools menus and saw that remember was checked and still it did not remember


finally I removed all PW and started entering them Never got "remember for this site"


1-re-installed FF over ff 2-removed and reinstalled FF after removing w/o deleting settings 3- exported bookmarks 4-0 removed FF and checked box to remove settings 5- looked for any remnants 6-can ccleaner 

7-reinstalled ff from file

8-restored bookmarks ( ok!) 9- logged into ebay manually 10 - exited ebay and mozilla 12- opened mozilla and logedd in to ebay 13- did not remeber- never sqw remember password box 14 read the help pages but I had done that previously so I did it again


OK what else is necessary? where did I screw up? where do I "eneble cookies" possibly this is the enswer. I am not able to get firefox 3.5 to remember passwords

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
