Some passwords are saved but now Firefox won't save any sign in's that I use. How do I turn the save back on? I use windows 7.

HI   !
Would you check the following please, just in case you inadvertently changed the setting :

3-bar menu => Options => Security = > Under   'Logins': Make sure that 'Remember logins for sites' is checked.

(Edit : while I was typing this cor-el posted his answer, which includes my advice)
