Have you checked in the Passwords menu to see if it's been stored or not? You can access it by clicking the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Security.

Next, click the "Saved Passwords" button, then click "Show Passwords".

Passwords will not be saved if you browse in Private Browsing mode too.

See this article for more information: Security panel - Passwords
