firefox not saving passwords
No matter what I do in "settings" I cannot get firefox to save my password and/or usernames like it used to before I upgraded to the current edition. It's frustrating because even Chrome remembers and I don't like to use Chrome. Thanks

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

You Firefox doesn't offer to store password in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in 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: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live 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.
cor-el, thanks so much for the scoops. I twiddled around and now my passwords are saved just like they used to be. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. May it come back to you according to the Golden Rule of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Make it a great week. Doridays/coastdaze
