After the lastest update all my saved user names do not automatically load.
After the latest update all my saved user names do not automatically load on all the sites I have user manes saved for. The usernames and passwords are still in (tools-options-security-saved passwords) but the user names do not load and I cannot get them to load again automatically I have to type the user name in on all sites I did have them saved them for. Then the password is remembered. What has Firefox done

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
- (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
