How can I make Firefox remember new passwords for old accounts?

I have recently moved to a new notebook computer. I used the "Password Exporter" add-on to import my passwords from my old machine.

Now, when I reach a Web page that I'd saved the user id and password for, it no longer appears in the fields and I have to start typing some of it, before Firefox offers it again.

Also, if a password has changed, when I enter the new one, Firefox won't offer to update that saved account with the new password - so I'm stuck with my old 'list' of accounts and their original passwords.

How can I fix these problems?
