Firefox v61 & v62 not asking to save passwords etc...[Fixed]

Post by LIMPET235 »

Hi guys 'n' gals,
I run a few Firefox versions, as do many of you.
I just installed v61.0.2 & tried it out on a few of my "normal" sites.
eg; hobbyking/avast support fora/MWP forum & my radio yachting HP all work fine.

At present, one in particular, "hobbywarehouse.com.au", after finally getting it to let me log into their newly, updated site,
....those details do not show up in the Privacy/Security section along with any of the other sites log in details.

Also, my other versions all auto fill the log in boxes.
v61.0.2 does not.

Assistance req'd as to why.... please.
Ta muchly..

ps.
I've X referenced all the settings in v57 & 61.0.2.
Both the same in all respects. AFAICS.

(I'll just note that the bookmarklet does not help there, https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets ... r_password.)

Hi guys 'n' gals,
Thanks for the replies.
Nope. You're correct, therube. The bookmarklet does not work on that "hobbywarehouse" site.....
even though I can actually log in.
It's just that Firefox will not offer to save the detail or auto log in.
Damn!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TS2,
As I posted, I can log in & save to all my other sites......Well, the ones I've tried.
> eg; hobbyking/avast support fora/MWP forum & my radio yachting HP all work fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NB: I just tried un/re-installing v61.0.2, but nothing changed.
I still cannot get Firefox to ask to save my details & they do not appear in the Privacy & Security section, along with the other sites details.
Cleared cookies, cache etc......run in Safe Mode.....disabled the Plug-ins.....yada yada yada....?
It's got to be their "newly created site."
Can't think of anything else to try, but why does it work in v57?
What did "they (the new site) or mozilla" change in v61.0.2?
Weird one or what?

I checked AVAST' options etc, but cannot find anything relevant that would cause just one site to fail.

Any more ideas will be appreciated.

ps.
I checked in the about:config page & found this pref...
> security. ask_for_password.......which is set as the default = 0.
From the details page...
> Determines when Mozilla Mail should ask for the master password.
0 (default): Only the first time it's needed
1: Every time it's needed
2: Every n minutes, where n is the value in security.password_lifetime.

Yeah right!

Hi :-) Did you try (my favorite option) "Forget about this site" right click (in history) ?

Hi there, elist74,
Nope. That did absolutely nothing. Thank you for the suggestion.

No probs with logging in or saving details or auto fill on this site.

Welcome, does a new profile exhibit the same behavior as before?

Hi TS2,
Well, you will not be pleased to note, that even a new Profile does not offer to "Ask to save....." or store the info.
PITB.

Excuse me, is v57 and the new profile still asking to save password on that site??

According to the archive
https://web.archive.org/web/20180315104 ... login.html
former or old login page used type="submit" button.
However, current login page is using type="button" button and ajax code to send login data instead of submit.
I'm very unsure but it may prevent "save password" feature. (it isn't an issue of v61.0.2)

Hi atlanto,
No. It's not v57 that has the problem.
It works fine.

It's version 61.0.2 that has the problem.
-------------------------------------------------
Still waiting on a reply from "them."
-------------------------------------------------

elist74,
Nope. Still refuses to "Ask......" or "Save....", etc...

Hi elist74,
Checked & double checked any/all prefs/options.
Nothing will get v61.0.2 to "Ask........" or "Save......."

For ref;...

Interesting, even a new profile, seems to give you the same behavior Limpet235.
