password is saved but acts eccentrically

I have a joomla website with an administration login. I Password Manager and Password being Cleared automatically articles in support. My password appears in my Firefox Saved Password file. When I first asked it to remember the password it worked fine for a while. I would go to the Admin login page and Firefox would insert my user ID and password. All of a sudden that stopped. Now I have to type in my user ID. Sometimes the pw gets filled in when I do, and sometimes it doesn't. If I do it a few times it will get filled in eventually, but it never automatically fills in both ID and pw together at once. Sometimes there is another problem in addition. If I do login I get kicked out with a message saying something like "You have to log out first". This happens at times when I know I have logged out (though this may have come from have different tabs of the admin open at the same time). Anyway, this is a mix of problems. Not to complain but I never had these with Safari or IE. They are minor irritations, but, as I am new to Firefox, it makes me insecure with it. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
