1. have you created a firefox account ?
2. at that point you can then enable / disable the password/username saving system

Yes I have registered an account Gary. Whatever menu I use or whatever I type about passwords or logins in their online help, they all guide me to either:
(i) the login page for the sites I want to save passwords for and the menu is not shown, or:
(ii) to the menu itself which is 'greyed' out and disabled. I've just searched for enable passwords and it's taken me to the same set of pages I've already seen.
Not the only issue I have with my 'puter but this one I got to sort out myself:
My mouse is under there somewhere!
This is what i see on my options area for passwords.
I dont use firefox to remember mine , i use dashlane , BUT , a click on the ''ask to save logins and passwords'' allows me to switch to firefox to store passwords.

Weird , i'll have to re-look and see what could be causing that
ah , private browsing will knock off many of the settings, as the private settings shouldn't save history etc.
Not sure how you managed private by default ??

HI DAVE how old is clyde ?
G
Dave. :nerd:I'd recommend setting fire to the thing !
FINALLY!
Gary: I turned off private browsing (no idea why it turned on automatically) and now all my logins and passwords are saved. Still have to click the login button on the web page instead of going straight in from my desktop shortcut, but that's no big deal.
I have achieved what I set out to do and got rid of those b****y suggestions so thank you once again for all your help. YOU DA MAN!!
Chris: Clyde is a rescue cat who's been with me since the end of June 2017. He wasn't fully grown when he came to me along with the other cat (Bonnie) he'd been kept with since he came to the rescue centre - they are not related. I'd guess he was probably 4-5 months old then but I'll let you guess:
Clyde is the dozy Tom on the left. Bonnie is the alert (Be a lert! Your country needs lerts!) Queen. She cannot resist sticking her little pink nose into everything that's going on.
John: Then how would I keep in touch with all you guys!? Seeing just the handful who turn up at Cosford (The Massive) once a year is great, but I'd miss all the scintillating chats on here!

This is often a sign that your machine is compromised. If a windows PC and it won't let you switch you could try running Edge or Firefox browsers. But if ever my PC wont let me make a change I want I am immediately suspicious (a decade in IT security will do that to you) but at the same time it is an easy error for a user to misunderstand, so don't panic yet.

Switched to Firefox and Bing and now all is well thanks Toby.

I did say you'd have to wait and see what's happening Chris!:smiling:
They seem to have calmed down a bit now they're older. Took me about 6 weeks to change my mind about their names. I had originally thought Satan and Beelzebub but couldn't decide which was which.
The only time they got into my spare room, they managed to knock loads of bits off my 1/35 Dora railway gun and totally destroyed my 1/35 Leopold and M26 tank. Little b*****s!
Wel Dave i was hopein to catch you off gaurd an you would let your secret slip if i asked again but your surcrity is too tight for me to delve into ( damm) youre on the ball an the cats are only doin what comes natural as our SNOWBALL jumped up onto my shelf above the tv an knocked a missele off one of my plane but soon gluded it back on so no real harm done an you know you love your BONNIE an CLYDE really dont you :smiling:
'fraid so! They're the only things in my life keeping me normal. Alas, they're doing that by driving me insane!
