Saving Passwords: I was prompted to save, but said NO to one password a few times, so how do I reverse this so it will save my password please?
I've tried clearing the password from the saved list, so it will prompt me to save it again. BUT, now it NEVER remembers this password for this site for me. How can I reverse this please?

open tools / security under passwords there is exceptons. open it and delete your site from this list
Thank you for your suggestion. My exceptions list is already empty. Nothing to delete. Any other ideas please?
Details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
- Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.
