Firefox help

I have the most Firefox release. For some reason, it won't save my passwords and names in the individual sites. Having me type them in each time. Any suggestions that i checked the wrong boxes or something? I've looked and everything seems to be the same as it was on the previous version.

Tools--->Options

Privacy--->Passwords

Make sure "Remember passwords" is checked.

hope that helped

if not i believe theres a list of sites that you want your password never to be saved on which you need to clear...should be on the same screen as remember passwords

another question about firefox now. i can NEVER seem to access a certain website. the website is www.ilounge.com. i've tried both Firefox and IE. i can access the page from work, from my parent's house, but not when i'm trying to do so in my dorm. any thoughts?

You mentioned dorm, I will assume then you are using the internet thorugh the university's network. In that case its most likelly that your uni is filtering access and blocking off that site.

To bypass that you would need to use a service such as Anonymizer or for free Tor network.

thanks Netrino, i'll try that once i get back up there.

yeah, the ilounge link is functioning. It likely as neut states re the college servers.

alright, so i finally got around to trying out those websites. The Tor one, i'm not really sure how to use. Am i supposed to just download something and then use that to surf the web, or can i just use firefox as i normally would once i download Tor? sorry i'm such a newb at this but thanks for the help.

can't say i'm surprised since they are known systems to bypass packet filtering and traffic shaping with the use of packet encryption. So your it guys are probably blocking those off too.

Read the provided documentation, it explains it quite well.

thanks Oz. it's a shame i threw away my manual for Firefox though. i've just resorted to lookin at the site when i'm at work now.
