Certain sites that require a password I do not remember ever being offered the opportunity to save a password for that site, so it doesn't show up in rejected, and I can find no option to get Firefox to offer to save password info for me...aside from this I have been very pleased with Firefox since i made the switch in Sept...Thank you, a technically challenged grandmother...

Try the Save Passwords Editor extension.

If a website doesn't offer to store the password then chances are that it doesn't fill that password either if you use the "Saved Passwords Editor" extension. You can only use that extension in such a case as a reminder in case you forget the password.
