Private Browsing doesn't remember passwords and the firefox tab is orange and shows remember passwords enabled. Cannot cancel to restart either. Help.
I downloaded 8.0.1 and now remember password does not work. I have read everything on the internet, one saying when RP is on the Firefox browser tap would be purple and orange when off. It is Orange and he drop down menu shows Stop Private Browsing but when I do that nothing happens. I deleted and downloaded Firefox again but same problem. Whats the gig...

In Private Browsing you can't remember new passwords, but currently saved password are still accessible.
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?
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.
In PB mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if you end that PB session or close Firefox.
So it isn't possible to have websites remember you and automatically log you in in PB mode.
