So recently for some odd reason my computer is no longer saving my login info. For This forum, other forums I frequent. my yahoo email I set to keep logged in for 2 weeks since I'm the only user on my PC. With my bank, my redbox account, myspace, paypal, all those I only have it save my user name and I enter the password. but it's no longer saving anything.. EVERY time I open FF and go somewhere. it's not saved. I'm even having to answer secret questions and stuff on my bank. I'm not sure if this is a Vista problem, or a Fire Fox 3 Problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I should upgrade to FF 3.3 or whatever there update is. (or it might have automatically)

Thanks in advanced for any help. this is getting really old.

Update here.. It's Fire Fox. It has worked for months and months with no problems. but now It's doing this.

I just tried IE and it worked perfectly and saved every site I went to. With Fire Fox, before someone asks. yes when you go to tools>options>privacy, the check (Always clear my private Data when FF closes) is NOT checked, so it should be saving this info.. Also the weird thing is. When I come to vista64 and I start to enter my user name of XGUNTHERC. it remembers it. and it automatically brings it up, and when I hit tab and go to password. It brings it up. So I just hit enter and it logs me in. BUT before I didn't have to do this. EVER. even when I restart the PC it remembers all of this good stuff. and now it's not.

any idea's?

Thanks!

edit* Thanks for moving to right spot mod! :D

I get the same: no info until I start entering my username. But it is only sites with the boxes embedded in the page that misbehave, those with the pop-up log-in work fine. Probably a new FF3 security thing, not Vista.
