Before the last update to 43.0.4, Firefox used to remember my usernames on different site (by double clicking field), but not the password. Now after the last update, it either remembers both or forgets both. Any ideas.

A detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:

  • Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
  • Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
