Make sure you are not in Private mode, and that you are saving passwords data * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png Double-click in the userid field to see/select your userid if not filled in automatically. The first time you use the password -- check-mark the "Remember" password box. If your userid and password is not remembered for a few sites, you may not have control over it. But for the most part when a site suppresses your ability to :remember" userid and/or password you can use a "remember" bookmarklet, see * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered User name and password not remembered - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] Additional unrelated password articles that may be of interest to you * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password Master password - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager Password Manager - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] Specifically in answer to your question asking if there are settings -- Yes, though it is unlikely you would have changed them. :Bring up '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config]''' and filter on '''privacy''' -- anything beginning with "'''privacy.'''" or "'''security.'''" should be at default, if not then right-click on the line and choose "Reset", or you could double-click to reverse a true/false setting.

Problem solved. Many thanks
