In my list of saved usernames/passwords, my username for some sites is listed as "password" rather than my actual username. It does not save my username or password for these sites, even though I've told it to.
I have a forum site I visit at least a few times a day and I've told both the site and the firefox popup to remember my username & password. It used to save them, but it stopped working in the last few weeks. When I go into my saved usernames & passwords (tools -> options -> security -> saved passwords), it shows the username for that site as being "Password" (obviously NOT my username). I've tried whitelisting the site (in case my flash blocker was the problem), reloading the page, and removing the saved information and entering it again. So far I haven't been able to find anything that works.

Try using the Saved Password Editor extension, which allows you to edit existing passwords and add new ones manually.

Some sites use JavaScript to copy the name and password to another (hidden) field or use separate hint input fields for the name and password that can make Firefox store the wrong data (the password field and the input field with the Password hint text). In such a case there probably is nothing that you can do as Firefox may overwrite the name and password stored by the password editor extension immediately on the next visit.
Installing the password editor eventually worked. I had to change the "username field name" space instead of the "username" space. Thanks!
