If you go into Options, then Security, and click on Remember Logins For Sites, and it should remember. You might want to go into Save Logins, and delete the password for Hotmail, and start all over. Let us know if that works.

Places Maintenance {web link} Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives Places, the bookmarks and history module behind Firefox.
Open the Add-ons Manager. Locate the add-on and press the Options button. Then follow the directions.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Hotmail (https://login.live.com) still works for me in the current release. Note that the password filed has an autocomplete="off" attribute, so you need to start typing the name and select the name in the drop-down list. This should fill the name and the password. You can try to use the Tab key go to the password field.
You can use the Saved Password Editor extension to check the items stored in the Password Manager.
