</p><p>Air forum will fill in the UN &amp; PW as soon as I type the first letter of the UN but in doig so it adds the letter I typed to the end of the UN so I have to go up and delete that letter than it will sign me in.

I made new files for Key and signon and the same results as before with one exception.
</p><p>FF opened a site I did not have a PW saved for. It does not open this site even though there is a PW saved for it. There is one site it will not even ask if I want to save the PW for it. There is no consistency at all except it is reaching the same results for the same sites each time. It seams to be controlled by the sites rather than by FF. I have had all of these site working in the past but it takes hours to finally get them all to work and i have no idea of what was the last thing I did that may have caused it to work.
</p><p>One question I have is even when I delete FF and start over my bookmarks are there when I first open FF. This tells me that FF was not completely deleted and this problem may also not have been deleted. In the past if I deleted FF I had to import my bookmarks indicating they had been deleted as part of the deletion.
