My ID and Passwords are not being saved. I tried going to Tools>Options>Security and selecting the box to save passwords, but this did not work. What other options do I have?

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?

If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
