I changed my password for facebook. The old password was saved and automatically filled in each time I log into facebook. The old password still fills in and I need to know how to change it to the new one.

Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords.

On the list of sites select http://www.facebook.com (you should see your FB user name in the right column). Select "Remove". Login to FB with your new password and click "Remember password" when asked.

You can also remove saved name and password if you highlight that entry in the drop down list of the name field.

If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field with the old password.
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password via the pop-up dialog from the key icon on the location bar.
