FF will not save and exicute password and user name in certain sites. It has worked on these sites in the past. FF will ask if I want to save the UN & PW.

FF has lost the ability to execute UN and PW auto fill in on some sites. FF will save the UN and PW in the save password file for some sites but not execute them. On one site it will not even ask if I want to save the UN and PW. All of these sites have worked in the passed with saved UN and PW and auto filled when I open the site.

Websites may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.

You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I looked at the suggested site but could not figure out how to use it.

There is no rhyme or reason as to what FF is done right now. One site, E Bay, will auto fill in on opening. Several others the information has been saved and will fill in as I start to type the UN. One site will not ask to save the information even though it's sister site works.

This feature of FF has worked for years. It has failed twice since the latest update and was hell to get back the last time. Don't ask how I got it back it just happened during one of many attempts
