Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted. Such details are stored in a cookie.

Or do you mean the sliding bar at the top of the browser window?

Does anything happen if you click the Remember button?

Do the saved passwords show in the password manager?
