I still have a problem with password manager, your last "solution" didn't work, surely someone should ask before saying it's solved?

when I go to a site that I want Firefox to remember the username and password I type the new one and the bar appears at the top asking if I want it to remember this, I click yes and then it doesn't do anything. The bar doesn't disappear and the password doesn't get remembered it just stays there until I change the page. It remembers everything up to a certain point in time (probably about six months ago, sorry I can't be sure?) but will remember no new ones. please see thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/704227#threadId706079 for details.

I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT SOLVED, PLEASE ASK BEFORE SAYING IT IS!

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== within the last six months

sorry, scratch this, the first post did enable me to find a solution, it was the signon.sqlite file that had become corrupted.

As an interesting aside, this has also fixed the problem with using Xmarksspace which was giving me an "error 3" synchronising problem.

Apologies for the tone of my previous posting, you did provide the information that enabled me to find a solution, thank you and sorry.

Regards
