Passwords and other bugs in FF4
Darin Stoykov
I have some questions regarding FF4, but the issues were also in FF3.6.
1. Passwords:
In previous versions of FF (3.0) the "remember passwords" options worked
smoothly - prompted for remembering passes for new sites, prompted for
saving updated passwords, etc. Somehow this did not worked in FF3.6 and does
not work in FF4 either. I am not using master password now, but I do not
believe that turning it on will fix the problem. Can I have a help here on
that, please?
2. Flash and mouse pointer
FF3.5 and above turned to have a huge issue with flash objects and embedded
videos in websites. Once the mouse pointer is on such an object, the scroll
stops and there is nothing you can do to scroll down or up. One should move
the mouse to other part of the site if one wants to scroll. Same issue and
in FF4, especially with youtube
Thanks in advance,
Darin

I have not seen the problem you mention about passwords. Mine work as
normal, and I don't use a master password.
It is true that you can't scroll the screen while the mouse pointer in
within the Flash controlled part of the screen, but then I suspect that
is what is intended by the Flash app.

When you enter a password in Firefox 3.6, you should get a yellow bar at
the top of the content area, asking if you want to remember the password.
Screenshot at <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Remembering+passwords>.
In Firefox 4, it appears like a doorhanger from the location bar.
Screenshot: <http://ilias.ca/screenshots/fx4-passwordprompt.png>.
If it's not appearing, go to Tools-->Options-->Security and make sure
"Remember passwords for sites" is check marked.
If it already is check marked, beside it click on [Exceptions], and
remove any entries for the sites that you're having trouble with.
If that still doesn't do it, we'll need some more info about your
Firefox setup. Go to Help-->Troubleshooting_Information, then click
[Copy all to Clipboard]. Open a reply to this post, and go to
Edit-->Paste to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page.

I cannot duplicate that issue here. Try updating Flash to the latest
version. <http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer>

Oh wow, the lack of line wrap makes that unreadable. Try pasting it to
<http://pastebin.mozilla.org/>, then post the link.

Right now, I'm guessing that it is caused by either "Alexa Toolbar",
"QipAuthorizer", or "AVG Safe Search".
You can test this by going to Help-->Restart_with_Add-ons_Disabled.
Then try a site that requires a password, like gmail.com.

The problem with video files still remains :(

That's great; but did you mean that "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
fixed, or that you found the add-on that was causing the problem?
"Restart with Add-ons Disabled" just starts Firefox in Safe Mode. The
next time you start Firefox, it will start in normal mode. If the
problem doesn't exist with add-ons disabled, you can use the
instructions at
<http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes>
to help find out which add-on was causing the problem.
If you know which add-on it was, please tell us, so the next person that
comes along with the same problem can get help quicker.

In my opinion it was the qip toolbar. It kind of slipped when I was
searching for a IM client to combine ICQ and twitter, which qip provides in
it latest version. Now when the whole program is out of the system and the
plugin is disabled, FF works like magic (as usual)
