keith Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I use firefox on my work computer so everytime it asked me if I want it to remember my password I would say no. However its being gay at the moment and seems to remember my password for facebook, hotmail etc which isn't ideal as I don't want anyone else on them. I have tried clearing the passwords etc but can't make it forget them, can anybody shed some light on how its done? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk Jambo Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Ctrl, Shift & Del will clear the Private Data, including passwords. You can also set Firefox to delete the data when you close down the browser. Tools, Options, Privacy tab, Always Clear My Private Data when I close Firefox.

keith Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Go into tools: options: security and uncheck the remember passwords box.then clear all saved data. hope this helps. Right I've done that, closed it down went back and checked the list of passwords it remembers which was empty, but then its still remembering them all!!! Is the computer buggered or am I being stupid somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Have you checked the master password box under the same settings? I've tried putting a master password on, doesn't work. Whenever I open firefox and go facebook, hotmail, kickback it opens up in my account without asking for anything. Thanks for the help so far, I flippin hate computers!!!

Say What Again Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Sorry I can't help you keith but maybe one of the Firefox experts could help me. During the last week, Firefox has stopped remembering my bookmarks. If I bookmark a page, it does show up - until next time I switch the PC on and it's gone again. It seems to have coincided with me upgrading to 3.0 though it was working fine for the first few weeks. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a hassle tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
