tartempion Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Upgraded to Vista SP2 last week (after re-installing Vista) and need now to logon every day to all websites I visit daily. Browsing with Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10 and "Remember passwords" for sites in security tab is checked, as I always have. Problem must be Vista related, any clues for an option in control panel somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlton68 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi, did you somehow migrate your firefox settings from the old Vista setup to the new one? I guess you started Firefox from scratch with the new setup and now some setting are different than before. - Firefox does remember login info (if wanted) and already fills them into the user/password fields of websites. When Firefox has more than one set of info for one website it presents likely matches once you start typing your username. - When here is a check box 'remember me for the nexts visits' then the website (not the browser) will store your login info in a cookie. For this to work you need to go to Fireffox settings and allow cookies. Hope this answeres your problem. A nice tool to migrate Firefox (and Thunderbird) settings to other computers or a new setup is Mozbackup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I used Password Exporter Extension to save/reload passwords before re-installing Vista. After re-installing all worked fine, the strange thing is after Vista SP2 the "remember this website" does not work any more for any site, passwords are remembered. Checked cookies: accept and keep until expire are checked. Still no clues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
