i've got remember passwords activated but have changed one of my passwords and had to remove it from the list. It's not offering the option to remember the password for this site any more. help!
I've had this happen on a couple of sites where I've changed passwords. It doesn't offer to remember the new password whether I login when that side is still on the list of those with saved passwords, or whether I delete that site from the 'saved passwords' list first. It just...doesn't offer the option to save the password. How can I fix this???

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Some sites like PayPal and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling in the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.
excellent, that's sorted it! Many thanks. I figured it must be something to do with the boxes I'd checked in settings but never thought to link it to the history. :)
