Since installing Firefox 7 on my Win 7 Home Premium machine my passwords are not being saved. In Tools-Options-Security the "Remember passwords for sites" box is and always has been checked and there are no "Exceptions" at all. Also, I should add, there isn't any "prompt" asking me to save a password. Older versions of Firefox never had this problem so please help with this.

I've done all this and also created a new profile. I can not get Firefox 7 to remember passwords for ANY sites since upgrading to 7.0. I am using Windows 7 Professional.
