Thunderbird no longer remembers my passwords
Thunderbird now asks for my email passwords every time I start it. When asked to enter password the option to remember password no longer appears in the enter password window?

Did below as advised but it did not work/? It can happen that you will find no checkbox in Thunderbird to remember passwords. To change this, you will need to edit the prefs.js file, located in the Thunderbird profile folder.
Close Thunderbird and open the prefs.js file in Notepad or another editor (make a backup copy of prefs.js first, as a precaution).
Find the following line: user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
Change the value from false to true.
Close the Notepad or editor window and save changes.
On the next startup of Thunderbird you should find the checkbox for remembering the password in the password manager.
