Is remember logins enabled?

  • Options/Preferences -> Security: Logins: [X] "Remember logins for sites"

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"

Would you check the following please, just in case you inadvertently changed the setting :

3-bar menu => Options => Security = > Under   'Logins': Make sure that 'Remember logins for sites' is checked.
