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?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

You Firefox doesn't offer to store password in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
the private browsing option is shaded and seemingly not available---it does say stop private browsing but again it is shaded and cannot be clicked
I had the same issue. I realised this is caused by the fact that I disabled Firefox to retain historical info (in Options/Security). If you want Firefox to remember passwords you need to activate the history option. You can use the option "Personalised settings" for this and then you can disable the history of navigation, but let activate the "Cookies". It should work.
If Private Browsing is shaded then that means that you are in permanent Private Browsing mode.
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
