Firefox problem/question
Love using Firefox, has cut WAY down on spyware, etc.

Recently, it's not remembering the login id/passwords for the sites that require them. Is there a setting to fix that?

Thanks in advance!

2. Thanks, but it's already set that way
G-mail/hotmail account names don't pop up when I go to the page, same with ESPN.com, and DU. DU remembers my name & password, but I have to go to the login page every time I come here.

3. ideally...
you shouldn't use that function at all. in any browser. it's a security risk. if you can, remember your passwords yourself, or write them down by your computer.

how to fix it, i'm not sure. i use safari overall.

5. It's not the passwords
Just the login. Example, it doesn't even remember my e-mail address at hotmail or other sites. I have to go through the "trouble" of typing in my account name/login ID. I agree with the password thing, but I'm tired of going back to the same sites daily and have to re-enter my login ID.
