I have several pages that load every time I open Firefox. The pages requiring IDs and passwords used to populate automatically and no longer do.

Hi   !

Would you please check this :

3-bar menu => Options => Security => under 'Logins' :

Make sure that 'Remember logins for sites' is checked.

Thanks, I had the same idea as you, but unfortunately, it didn't work. This version of Firefox is a little strange. If I click on a web site with ads, Ad block does not work. If I refresh the screen Ad block does work!

Lately AdBlock Plus has been causing a lot of problems. You'd be way better off with uBlock Origin :

You may be in permanent Private Browsing :

Go to :   3-bar menu => Options => Privacy

Under   ' History' :
Firefox will :   'Use custom settings for history' : make sure   'Always use private browsing mode'   is not selected.
If it is,   uncheck it and restart Firefox.
Close the page.   Any changes you've made will automatically be saved.

Went through both articles and everything seems to be in order. I have the old Firefox data file, is there some way of reinstalling it?
