I use Easyfundraising as a search engine as it donates money to the charity of my choice. Previous versions of Firefox remembered which charity I had selected even though I turned off remember forms and remember passwords as I do not want these features. I've had to reload my operating system recently and ended up with the latest version of Firefox but I cant seem to get it to remember my charity. Does anyone have any clues?

By the way, when you log into this forum you need a username (that is different to your email address) and a password. If you have forgotten both (as I had) the 'reset password' feature does not enable you to get a reminder about your username - so how can you log in?!
