Does not save passwords

I have the "Remember passwords for sites" and "Use a master password" boxes checked and a master password successfully set - but Firefox has stopped asking me whether I want to remember passwords or not and, of course, does not save them.

I have tried unchecking them, clearing the master password, clearing all remembered passwords then rechecking and setting a new master password but no luck.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
