Firefox asks if I want it to remember my passwords, but in Yahoo, where I have several emails, It only fills in the passwords some of the time.

Firefox remembers my passwords, but it selectively provides them. For example, it will fill in the password for email address 1,2,4 and 6, but not for 3 and 5. The next time I try to access my emails, it may not fill in 1 and 2, but will fill in 3,4,5 and 6. There is no pattern.

Hi,

Please try this: Delete any existing entry in the username field and then double-click on the blank box. Firefox would usually show a drop-down menu and when you choose an entry the corresponding password is also filled.

You can also use an add-on like LastPass.

It is possible that the website is using more than one server for load balancing.
In such a case you only save the name and password for a specific server and it won't work if you occasionally end up on another server.
