firefox doesn't remeber passwords despite having box checked in secutity options and no exceptions are listed?
despite having box checked in security options to remember passwords, and no exceptions listed, FireFox, does not remember passwords and logins. Only a single site I visit remembers login and passwords. I am not prompted to save these either when visiting a site.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page. The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

If Firefox doesn't offer to store passwords in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
