will not save passwords
I recently had to rebuild my laptop due to hard drive failure. I was running XP Pro, and had no issues with FF. Loved it. When I rebuilt, I had to load Vista Business. Since then, FF5 will not remember any of my passwords, and also will close multiple tabs at once, without asking.
Any suggestions?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
- 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
- Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
I am not in private browsing. I have some sites ask if I want to save the login and password info. Some do not. One of the sites is a financial institution...could it be that?? It is not in the list of "do not remember". There are no entries there.

Some sites like PayPal and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.
