Earlier I was able to use stored passwords and autocomplete user ID for websites, but now I am not able to use them. I need help to solve this problem.
For quite a long time, I was being provided with my complete user ID when I typed first character of User ID and my password would also come up automatically when I click my cursor in the Password window. on most of the websites that I frequently visited. But now I am not able to visit those websites in the same way. Now I have to type in both the complete user ID and password and then only I can log in onto those websites. Can you suggest me how can I change the settings so that I am able to use my browser in the same way I used to earlier?

Did you check the settings to make sure that the Password Manager is enabled?
- Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
- Tools > Options > Privacy: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
