Not remembering passwords
I had changed my password on one of my sites I use every day. Thereafter, every time I would go to log in, it contained my old password, and I have reenter the new password. I went to the settings and ended up removing the saved passwords, thinking that it would prompt me to remember them again. I cannot seem to find how to get FF to remember my password again for this site.

Check that there aren't any empty names or passwords visible in the Password Manager
- Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.

- Saved Password Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Thanks for your reply. Most of the things mentioned I had already tried. I ended up installing the addon for the Saved Password Editor and was able to get it working again, at least for the site I needed. (This issue was in FF ver 7.0.1 btw)
