my user name and password was saved and would automatically populate every time I opened the site. I went into settings and accidentally removed that from the list. How do i get it back to saved?

You can only restore your deleted password if you have the back up copy of the files signons.sqlite and key3.db .

Go to- AppData>>Mozilla>>Firefox>>Profile 

and see if you can find it.

I hope it helps.

unfortunately on Windows XP there aren't any previous versions of files available via System Restore, so if you do not remember the password and also do not have a bacukp copy of the above mentioned signons.sqlite and key3.db files then you are out of luck and you need to contact the website and ask to send a new password.
