Firefox doesn't remember passwords (but does remember userid) despite checkmarked box checked for "remember logins and passwords for websites").
Also, "Saved Logins" box is devoid of data even after I'm prompted to save and consistently attempt to do so. Thanks!!!

Profile data can be removed or not recorded several ways;
- 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
- 2) Privacy settings; (In the address bar, type about:preferences#privacy<enter>)
- 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
- 4) Mal-ware.
