1)Firefoz used to ask me if I wanted computer to remember passwords for emails etc...now it no longer asks if I enter new site with new passwords 2) firefox also no longer remembers my passwords - I must type in each time to each site. 3) I did try to reset it by going into "options" on tools; i marked remember cookis, still when I close firefox it cancels the lot. I did follow all instructions given on the various help pop-up-pages. SO WHAT HAS CHANGED?? I did not click on anything new or did anything different to what I normally did. SO: plese help to reset: - firefox asking again if i want to remember it new passwords; - make sure all my regularly used sites remember all paswords. many thanks,
