Vista, or FF3 is no longer saving password/sign in information

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.

Re: Vista, or FF3 is no longer saving password/sign in information

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!

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.
