When I first sign up for a site requiring login credentials, there is a popup saying "remember this site?" or some such. How do I call that at a later time, when I'm using the site & logged in?

When you return to the login page of that site, the Password Manager should load the data for you.

Type about:preferences#security<enter> in the address bar. Look under Logins,

Press the Exceptions button and see what's inside.

Firefox shows the Key icon at the left end of the location bar when it detect a login form, so you can look for this icon.

Note that there is "Fill login" and "Fill Password" in the right-click context menu that you can use if Firefox doesn't fill this data automatically.
