I want to use master password but sites I had previously said not save passwords are not listed in the security section of tools/options. What do I do?

I was not using the master password provision but have decided to. There are a number of sited where I told Firefox not to save the password. I have since changed my mind and want to use the master password. There are no sites listed as exceptions in the options/tools/remember passwords for sites/exceptions.

How do I get Firefox to remember passwords for sites I had previously to it not to remember?

If it is not in the exceptions list you should be able to go to that site again and type in password and it will ask you if you want to save it. More about it here.
