I'm setting up firefox to use with a webmail provider. I have several email accounts, each with it's own password. Can firefox save more than one userid/password combination per site?

Yes. If you enter the name and password in the log in form then Firefox should offer each of them.

If you use Hotmail then it saving names and passwords in the Firefox Password Manager probably doesn't work because that site uses JavaScript to create the log in form.

Some sites like PayPal and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and the password.

If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.
