Each time I open Firefox and go to my banking program I have to type in my full bank number. if I move to other sites while still connected to Firefox my number is remembered. BUT if I close my computer and open it again with Firefox the bank number does not show and I need to type it in in its entirety. I have checked the box where it asks if this is a personal computer.

I have used Firefox for a number of years and have not experienced this problem before.

Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks!
