how do I replace user id and password for frequently used site in bookmarks?
I log into my online store frequently. I have added my sign-on page to my bookmarks. I changed the user name id and the password but Firefox is not asking me if I want it to remember the changes.
Each time I want to sign in I have to input all the information again. Security is not an issue because it is my personal laptop and nobody else uses it.
How can I force Firefox to remember the changes?

I have the same problem, but it was caused by my grandchild hitting something and now my user name and password is not stored anymore. When you find out how to restore this please let me know the answer. Thanks
See:

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
- 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"
