When I tried to sign in to gmail on one occasion it would not recognise the password and I had to re-register with a new password. Now when I sign in to gmail, Firefox remembers my old password which I have to delete and insert my new one. How do I replace the old password with the new one ?

If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password. You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field with the old password. If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password via the bar at the top.

  • Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.
  • Verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or after reloading the login page.
