Firefox and Win7 will not rememeber passwords. OK though on Vista. Is this a bug?

Installed Firefox 3.6.6 on new PC - Win7 Pro 32 bit. Not 100% on version - I'm at home on laptop - PC in office. This is not networked PC - stand alone. I have never been able to get it to remember passwords. I have same settings as in Vista and 3.5.1. I have it set to clear history on exit.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Forgot to say - I can see the passwords in Security settings and alway tick to save passwords when entering a new site. OK whilst just close that tab - it keeps the password but when the history is cleared so are password memory, but not the settings in Tools/Options/Security settings
