Hello! I have access to internet via proxy. It requires autentification. But firefox doesn't save login and password for that proxy and prompts autentification each time. Is it possible to get this issue fixed? Firefox 59.0.2 64bit.

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.

Are you using the proxy all of the some or sometimes? Does the Password Manager have the password listed?

Type about:preferences#security<enter> in the address bar. Look under Logins,

Note: For Firefox 56+ its; about:preferences#privacy Look under Forms & Passwords +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Turn on Remember Logins. To check the passwords you have listed, press Saved Logins.

Then press the Exceptions button.

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select Network.

[56+] Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Look for Network. +++++++++++++++++++++ Look for Configure How Firefox Connects and press the Settings button. If you are using a proxy, make sure those settings are correct. If there is no proxy, first try No Proxy. If there is a problem, then try System Proxy.

FredMcD My internet access via proxy, as I wrote initially, it means I have to use proxy all the time I use Firefox. Playing with security and network settings you described, I have been done before posting my question here. Only one solution works now - do not exit FF all the day.

I do not use a proxy so I am not sure how it needs to be set up. I will call for more help.
