When I enter the gmail.com site and enter my user name and password, Firefox does not come up and ask if I want to save user name & password. Firefox did ask about saving user name & password for other sites. Thanks in advance for your help in this.

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Under Logins, Turn on Remember Logins.

To check the passwords you have listed, press Saved Logins.

Also press the Exeptions button.

Thanks for your instruction. However, under Logins, I don't see an option for turning on Remember Logins.

Thank you, Happy. I didn't notice that.

Thanks Fred McD. I do have a current update to Adobe Flash. While Flash does have some security problems, it's required for many of the local public records sites that I use in my real estate appraiser work. So, I guess I'm stuck with Flash.
