I am having a problem with mozilla firefox.
It wont let me sign into anything.
I think It may be taking my passwords for myspace and here.
How can I fix this?

You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Problems with Myspace.com, Friendster or Bebo.com?
Generally speaking, if you are having issues with those sites it is best to contact their support staff directly. These links can get you started:

Do you have Firefox 3? or 2?
Go to Tools, Clear Private Data and restart firefox and try again
If that doesn’t work then you’ll need to go to Tools>Options and under cookies, go to Show cookies, then Remove all Cookies in the window that pops up.
Also it would be helpful to know if you use any extensions or add-ons that may interfere with the way firefox acts.

That didnt work either.
What do you mean extensions or add-ons?
Same name.
Like when you sign in does it just refresh to the same page without you being logged in again?
Do a search on google for a program called pspv or find it here:-
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html
run it (and its not a virus) it will show you all stored passwords on your pc just delete them all after you note them down on a bit of paper.
firefox will need to ask again for the passwords and type in the right one …….
then throw bit of paper on fire lol
I dont save any of my passwords on this computer.
Why would I need to do that?
If you run it you will be surprised at what you dont ” think ” you save…..
I have just read the post again cos im a little confused, the post says :-

How can it take any of your passwords and use them anywhere if as you say :-

cookies will store passwords and you wont know it till you clear them out each month , we do clear them out regularly I hope? When you revisit a page it will prompt for password again……
I just cleared everything, like cookies, passwords and history.
When I try to sign in it just refreshes the page, I try continuously but since im not logged in where is my information going?
Okay first of all sign in to what and where ? it will just keep refreshing page if your not logged in , all your info is stored under your username and password ??
What??
Im so confused.
Myspace, help.com and aim.
okay for all of those you need to login so at some point you WILL need to log in so you WILL have a username and password , the problem with windows is if you user a user name of say ritchie on all 3 sites but different passwords it wont know what password to use for each user name on each site and will try and use either the first one or last one which dependant on the site you try could be right or wrong
Ohh, I use each username once, I have a different one for every website.
okay when you got to myspace and login what happens?
Nothing happens, it just refreshes the page and I am not logged in.
that would suggest the username and or password is wrong ?
Have you tried same site in Internet explorer?

Thats how I am on this site.
I hate Internet Explorer, it sucks.
lol I hate firefox cos it has too many security issues passwords being one of them lol , download and install opera and try the same websites
I just downloaded it.
I really like it.
Thank you for your help, hun.
its just firefox under a different name lol your welcome
Are you serious?
I thought it looked like the new version of firefox but I just thought I was going crazy.
Course I am serious , Firefox. Opera, Netscape are all derivatives of the same programming engine
