I have recently installed Firefox 3.6.6 and Windows 7. Not only were none of my saved passwords preserved, but now when the "Do you want Firefox to save this pwd?" comes up, the "Remember" button doesn't work. I uninstalled and re-installed 3.6.6, uninstalled and re-installed an older version. I have checked that I'm not in Private Browsing mode, and that my privacy and security settings are such that I should be able to save pwds. The problem persists.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Troubleshooting

Rename key3.db and signons.sqlite (Firefox 3.5) and all signons#.txt files (if any exist, Firefox 3.0 uses signons3.txt) in the Profile_Folder. You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old , signons.sqlite.old , signons3.txt.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 you lose all your currently saved passwords. If that has worked then you can remove the no longer needed renamed .old files.
