Hello, I'm a long time happy Mizilla Firefox user, I noticed that the autologin to sites that I have the passwords saved stopped working, They keep asking me to enter the Username and the Password, Even though the passwords are saved on those sites. Not too long ago I could just enter those sites (Gmail, eBay and more) Just by clicking the shortcut button, and I'd be logged in, but for a while now that doesn't happen anymore. It DOES have the passwords saved, so I don't need to type them again, But am asked to press the autofill on both user and password boxes. I Tried removing addons such as Ad-block, and even re-installed Firefox yet nothing seems to fix it. Please let me know what I'm doing incorrectly.

Thanks ahead!
