Passwords and images problem
Firefox image problem. In Firefox 3.6.12, every time I save an image that's already displayed on my screen, I see "one active download" appear in the bottom right of Firefox's window and the same image is also listed in downloads. The problem is that Firefox doing that uses more bandwidth. How do I set Firefox so that when I save an image, instead of that image getting re-downloaded from where it's stored on the internet, it's copied from wherever Firefox has it stored to display it so Firefox doesn't use as much bandwidth? Tools/options/advanced/network/offline storage is set to 50mb.
Firefox password problem. Tools/options/security/passwords has "remember passwords for sites" checked and there is nothing in my exceptions list. But Firefox keeps forgetting passwords, usually after restarting Firefox and or my whole system and on some sites, I don't even get asked "do you want to remember..." How do I fix this?
I do have CCleaner and it's set to run at startup, but all the boxes for Firefox are unchecked, so it's not the cause of either problem.

- Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
- You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Thanx for your reply :-)
When I click Tools, one option is "Start Private Browsing" and it's not grayed out, so that's not it.
Tools/Options/Privacy/History is set to "Remember History"
And in "Use Custom Settings," "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session" is unchecked, though I don't have "Use Custom Settings" selected

You can try this extension:
- Save Images: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3404
Just to clarify, once you see the image you right click on it and select "Copy image" from the list. Is that right? Also, do that happen always from the same page, same image. My suggestion is to try a different site as CNN.com or any other one so we can isolate the source of the problem. Concerning to the password issue, what kind of addons are running on your Firefox browser? did this problmes always was present or started once you add or remove other applications\addon? thanks
@cor-el OK, I'll give that extension a try and see what happens, thanx! :-)
@venemovil I right click and either select "save image as" or if I want to save an image to more than one location, I select "view image" and then use ctrl+s. Both results in Firefox re-downloading the image as I described above. It happens on every site I visit.
The password problem never happened before, but I will try disabling my extensions one at a time and see if it happens only whan a particular extension is turned on.
This is a screenshot of the extensions I do have installed. http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/Moonbarker/Clipboard01.jpg
I've also noticed that Firefox is forgetting what sites I've visited recently (I type in part of the url of sites I've visited sometimes as recently as a few hours ago and the entire url isn't in the suggested list) and I keep having to put the Fire FTP Button back in the toolbar (next to the home/stop/reload/back-forward buttons). That may be related to the pasword problem. I don't know.
