New password not updated in 'Saved Passwords' list
i have a saved user/pwd for some site. when the pwd changed, it didn't prompt to change it. i finally went in to the 'saved passwords' list and removed this record. now it's not prompting to save the new pwd, not even the same user. thanks for your help.

Did you check the exceptions?
- Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
thank you. i did check the exceptions, the website is not there. i also have 'remember history' and no private browsing. it works for some websites and not for others. but it used to work for all websites. is it possible that some websites just block this option ? thank you, ruti
Some sites like PayPal and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.
