Sometimes I am asked if I want firefox to remember site name and password and other times it does not ask. What do I have to do to make it ask me as I have been able to save passwords, sites and log on on another computer.

Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
Other sites use JavaScript or other means to create a form and the Firefox password manager doesn't work in such cases as well.

If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.
