Every time I log into a site, I'm asked by Firefox whether I want it to remember the password. But it never takes "yes" as an answer.
I recently bough a new computer and transferred my Firefox acct. over. None of my passwords made the trip, though. Every time I log into a site, I'm asked by Firefox whether I want it to remember the password, and when I enter yes, it isn't accepted.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

It is possible that there is a problem with the key3.db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
Rename the key3.db and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

I did that and it's still not working.
