In FF3 I could trust or allow my banking site to store a cookie to allow me to register my pc and not have to keep answering the challenge question.
When I set FF4 to "use custom settings for history" and allow my banks site but when I go back to check after my bank does not remember that I registered it has changed itself back to "never remember history".I have tried to find answers to this by searching your site and the web with Google. I think it is a common defect with version 4.

When I remove the check from Permanent Private Browsing mode all the options that you tell me to select under that are grayed out. See image.
These Options are Greyed only when Checkmark is placed on "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down SHIFT key while starting Firefox
-> As an alternative method, press Win key + R key and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:

OR
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode button
Now perform all the steps mentioned in my above post. Check and tell if its working.
The changes worked in safe mode but it reverted back to Firefox will remember my history when I close FF and reopen it.

User name and password not remembered

It is not a password/username issue. It is a challenge question my bank asks after I enter my account number. That same page has an option for me to tell it if I am public browsing or is this my regular computer. If I select the option that it is my regular computer it used to set a cookie in FF that would make it so the next time I log into the site it bypassed asking the challenge question and went straight to asking for the password.
