I have lost control. This version does not remember id's and passwords for any sight, makes me re login for every site every time I return to a site even during the same session. With the previous version I did NOT have this problem.
I loved the previous version and this version for me is a downgrade. I am not able to correctly set the option, and I cannot even get the feedback function to operate correctly.

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
