I got spoiled. Firefox will remember my username, for email sign in for instance. After typing the first letter of my username it shows me the rest. After I select it my password is already entered for me. This was great because I didn't have to remember a bunch of complicated passwords. But now, for some reason, it doesn't do that anymore and I can't remember a lot of my passwords. Do you know how I can fix this? I want it to auto populate my password for me.

Thanks
