I'm using; Firefox version 3.6.22 with Windows 7 on a Dell Studio 17 inch laptop. On the; Tools, Options, security section, saved passwords.

 I did have my login for www.walmart.com , in it. It worked fine & loaded &/or signed me in every time. Till today. The walmart.com site is gone from the saved list and even though the "Remember Passwords for sites" is working - it asked if I wanted to save the login info when I just registered to ask for help with this - it did not ask, "do I want to save the sign in, or login, password for this site" when I just had signed into the walmart.com because it didn't do it automatically like usual. Also the walmart.com isn't on the exception list either. But when I login on the site it doesn't ask if I want to save it, and I cant find a way to add it back to the list of sites. 

The troubleshooting help for adding a site to the saved passwords list that had been blocked, or "do not ask again" checked, said to check the exceptions list and delete it from there. But the one I want back on the saved list is NOT on the exceptions list.

How can I get this reset, fixed, or what ever, without loosing ALL of my other saved sites UN & PW? 
I used to have all my User Names and Pass Words saved with the NORTON security program. But now I cant access them because my NORTON expired. After loosing all of those I don't need to loose these too.
