firefox is not storing passwords
Using a PC with XP.
I intalled Firefox 4.01 having first removed Firefox 3.
I used an add-on the transfer passwords backed up from 3 to 4.
Most passwords were copied over but some were not.
My problem is that although I have the option "Remember passwords for sites" ticked. This does not happen.
When I enter username and password for a new site, Firefox does not offer to store the password and the password in not recorded.
I do have the add-on Better Privacy 1.50 installed. I tried disabling this but it made not difference.
If all else fails, is there a way of adding username/password manually?

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
