Is there any way for Firefox to remember multiple user name/password combinations for one website?
My husband and I both use Yahoo! Mail, but each have our own account. We are constantly switching back and forth. Entering the full user name and password by hand every time is annoying, but it isn't fair for just one of us to have Mozilla memorize the user name and password. It would be great if there was a way for Mozilla to memorize both our user names and passwords. Any idea if there is a way to do something like that? Thanks!

Firefox 30 should be able to store more than one name and password for the Yahoo site. Firefox should offer to store the name and password for the other as well.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"
You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
- Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar
- Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
- Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
There are other things that need your attention.
Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

Thanks! That was a super quick response and it worked perfectly. I appreciate the help. Now I'm off to look into the Shockwave issue you brought to my attention. I appreciate you going 'the Extra Mile'.
