FireFox not longer saves my passwords although I have it checked off. It used to work, but stopped on some sites, so I turned it off and then back on, but it doesn't ask if I would like to save any more passwords.
When I first downloaded FireFox, it saved all of my passwords with no problem(after asking me first). After a little while, out of nowhere, my passwords didn't come up when I entered my username on such sites like YouTube, and it won't ask for any recent sites I've joined. I decided to turn the saved passwords off for a little while, and then I turned it back on, but nothing has changed and now none of my old passwords are saved. It's not something I need, but it I would just have to type one letter for the username slot and then it would recommend names, but it doesn't. I hope this is not confusing for you.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

Do you see the names and passwords in the password manager? Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
Make sure that you not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working. You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing". See Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing ..... You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History" To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems --- http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered (bookmarklet) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager (Troubleshooting)
I am not in Private Browser Mode. The problem is selective in that about 1/2 of the sites I have saved passwords for work and 1/2 do not work.
Even within one site that has a password within the site for a second function the second password works but the site requires me to sign in every time.
Did you try Save mode?
