We’ve been seeing an obtrusive remember-password dialog box in Firefox which does not continue until we choose an option. Firefox doesn’t use a pop up dialog box anymore to ask the user to save a password. Instead it shows a slim bar along the top of the site. It’s unobtrusive, small, and doesnt interrupt the browsing experience of the user.
What password manager? No sign of it. No sign of my passwords. Won’t remember anything now. Firefox with Alzheimers does not seem to an improvement.
1Well Jean, It works for me..
2What seems to be your problem ? Cant get the old passwords or it doesn’t remember new ones ?
I know it seems to work for most people, but Firefox3 won’t remember passwords, the nice new password thingy has not appeared at any point and I much regret joining in the first night enthusiasm to download 3. I have tried all solutions I have seen posted in ‘reliable’ lists and got nowhere.
3My Firefox 3.0 gets no slim bar that asks if I wish password remembered.
Should I reinstall?
Thanks.
4Well rich,
5First, just make sure the “remembber passwords” option is indeed on. Goto Tools > Option and Secutity Tab and check “remember p/w for sites” if it is not checked already.
Mine is on, it always was. Nothing happens though.
6Mine is on.
It was for previous versions, and continued on with ver 3.0 upgrade.
7I like the password manager, but I seriously dislike the fact that it actively looks for password fields to fill in. If you want my reasons, and an example: http://www.patternsofchaos.net/blog/?p=18
8same problem as jean.. password bar shows up .. cant remember passwords if clicking on save password nothing happens.. bar does not go away unless clicking dont remember and no passwords anymore in password file.
9Still no password manager bar.
I downloaded 3.0.1 upgrade with the hope for its appearance, but no help.
10I had a problem with Firefox 3.0.1 and some sites and also my router config page not having passwords auto enter.
After looking in;
Tools>Options>Security>Saved Passwords and then >Show Passwords
I noticed I had duplicate entries for these URLs that had old and incorrect passwords saved.
After removing the duplicates Firefox now enters passwords correctly.
Hope this helps
11“Tools>Options>Security>Saved Passwords and then >Show Passwords”
This just stays stubbornly, absolutely, blank.
