not asking to save password or username
For some reason Firefox is not asking if I wish to save the user name and password anymore. Please help as to why.

Are you running Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode?
You need to update your plug-ins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
- Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.3"
- Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers
- Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
- Update Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):
- From within your existing Adobe Reader (if you have it already installed):
- Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
- Click Help > Check for Updates
- Follow the prompts for updating
- If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
- Download complete installer (if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed):
- Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below
- On the Adobe page, un-check any extra items (i.e. Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus) then click Download button
- If you see message just under tabs, DO NOT click the Allow button, instead click below that where it says "click here to download".
- Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
- After download completes, close Firefox
- Click the installer you just downloaded and allow the install to continue
- Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Download link and more information: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader
- After the installation, start Firefox and check your version again.
- From within your existing Adobe Reader (if you have it already installed):
- Update Java: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Java+plugin+with+Firefox
Java 6U21 is not a required update:
