Whenever I go into certain sites that want to know if I want them to remember my User ID I check the yes box. Next time I go into the site my user ID is not there and I have to renter each time. e.g. https://www.chase.com/, https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/home.do. Also recently it is not remembering the user ID and passwords of the various sites I enter, e.g. comcast.net email

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== immediately after installing
