How to get my usernames to appear from the drop down box then password automatically put in?

=( ugh...

I used to have my settings where it remembered my user name from the drop down box - so I would just type the first letter of my user name and a drop down box would appear and I could just click on my user name for that particular site and my password would automatically fill in...

I changed something the other night and can't remember what the heck I did... now it won't remember ANY user name OR password or like on face book it has my user name and password there automatically when I open up the log in face book page.

So I would like to know if anyone knows what needs to be clicked and unclicked to make it so:

I start typing my user name and the drop down box appears with user names and then my password automatically fills.. I DO NOT want all my user names and passwords already IN the forms when I first open the website... but for me to actually type in a letter and then it fills it... like it used to =(

/cry

why do I touch stuff?

Anyway I hope someone can help me because I am going nuts trying to figure it out and think I'm goofing things up even more =/

I have firefix 3.6.10
