In tools, options, privacy, do you have 'always remember history' selected?

I don't see that exact verbage but I have "Remember search and Form History" checked. Under settings I have the following checked (see attached images). As long as I stay in Firefox it remembers my email address, but once I exit I have to type it in again.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. :o)
