Two PCs and one laptop, all running WinXP SP3 and the last version of Firefox.

To open the same page (access to my webmail):

One shows immediately the user name and the password.

The other waits for a click on the textbox and suggests the user name. Once inserted, the password is inserted as well.

The third, just does nothing. I have to type everything.

Tired of looking for wrongly tweaked settings I reinstalled Firefox, to no avail. Everything stays the same.

 

This page describes the about: URL in Firefox. Typing about:config for the URL gets a huge page of config info. Check it and others for differences in stored passwords etc.

Good Luck!

Gracias for replying, John. Could you show exactly what to type, please?

"about:config" besides starting with a warning, shows just a long list.

Discovered "about:about" but still do not know what to do.

 

Hello,

Have a look at the preferences of firefox.
Under the security tab, you will find the posibility to save the paswords.

De nada! Sorry, but I don't know all of the setups that well. I pointed out 'about' as a starting place. The only time I used it was to clear up a disappearing drop-down window problem and getting it to restart on the home page instead of all of the open tabs from a previous session. That was after hitting the Mozilla support forum. I did find that it was the only way I could solve my problems as the standard setup dialog didn't work for me either. Sometimes F/F can be a little flakey.

Try posting your question on the Mozilla support forum if you can't find it already answered as I did.

Good luck!
