saved passwords don't autofill after using them for awhile
When i go to a website that i've save my UN & PW on, Firefox no longer autofills. i can go to my saved PW's and see it but they don't autofill when i type them in.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
- Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
You can the Boolean pref signon.autofillForms to true on the about:config page.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
Thanks! I've not in private mode and signon.autofillForms is set to true. i added "autofill 3.5" but that doesn't seem to work yet. is there a particular add-on or extension i need?
I've also deleted the cookies from the website and started Firefox in SafeMode but still can't get the UN & PW to autofill although it's saved in Firefox options. Is there anything else to try?
I've also tried deleting the UN & PW and then re-saving them. Still doesn't work. Other than Chrome or IE, any suggestions?
Firefox won't autofill the name and password if the website uses autocomplete=off even if you have saved the name and password with the bookmarklet or in a possible past when the autocomplete=off wasn't present.
Can you post a link to that log in page?
