I set up a Master Password on both systems, one home, one office. When I first open up FF Version 6.0 at office, I am asked the Master Password the first time I must sign into something. This is on XP. With Windows 7 at home, this does not happen. And neither am I asked by Password Manager if I want to save for that particular site. It appears to be a W7 versus Vista issue.

Are you really still using that old Firefox 2.0.0.20 version that shows in the user agent in your More system details list?


Make sure that you do not run Firefox 6 in permanent Private Browsing mode.
