Since updating to version 4.0, Firefox does not automatically complete saved passwords

Before updating to version 4.0, whenever I clicked the cursor into the username boxes, the username would automatically be there. Once I clicked on it, then the password would automatically fill in. Since the update, this does not happen anymore. So, I'm having to write usernames & passwords down somewhere and type them in myself. Has this automatic feature been defeated in version 4.0? I still have a list of saved passwords, but it's not calling them up automatically like before.

Do you still see all the names and passwords in the Firefox Password Manager ?

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

You can check 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"

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
