I got spoiled. Firefox will remember my username, for email sign in for instance. After typing the first letter of my username it shows me the rest. After I select it my password is already entered for me. This was great because I didn't have to remember a bunch of complicated passwords. But now, for some reason, it doesn't do that anymore and I can't remember a lot of my passwords. Do you know how I can fix this? I want it to auto populate my password for me.

Thanks

Open Firefox -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> Passwords section -> Place CHECKMARK on "Remember Password for Sites" -> press "Exceptions..." button -> click "Remove All " in "Exceptions - Saved Passwords" window -> press Close -> Click OK on the main Options window
