I'm unable to get Firefox to remember a password, even though the "remember passwords for sites" box is checked. It is a banking site that I have several accounts with and the other accounts are in the saved list. I have even gone into the account and changed the password. A screen came up and asked which account I was changing, but this account was not on the list in order to mark it as changed.

I'm already running 8.0.1. Another other suggestions?

Talk to the IT folks at the bank. Many financial sites do not allow you to save member id and password. A security issue.

I don't think the problem is with the bank. It's actually a credit union and as I said before I have several accounts with them. I even recently set up a new one and Mozilla/Firefox asked if it should remember the password for the new account. No problem there. It's one of the accounts I set up about six months ago that I'm having issues with. It's also the account that I thought by going in and changing the password for it it might learn the new one - it didn't. I may see if I can't change the entire log-in ID and password to see if that might spur Firefox into action.

As a follow-up, I did go in and change both the username and password a couple times, but Firefox did not ask to remember the password. It is still not showing up when I attempt to log in. I also contacted the credit union's IT department and they were somewhat surprised that Firefox even remembered any of the usernames since it is a banking institution and therefore not recommended that I have it fill in automatically. I'm now back to square one.
