Dear Sirs, I had Firefox as my default on my old computer with Windows XP, however, I have recently upgraded to a Apple iMac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. On my Windows PC I was able to save my user name and pass word for sites that required this. I would like to make Firefox the default browser on my Mac, however, I am reluctant to do so as I am unable to save the user manes and password for my web sites that require same. Consequently, I am using this medium to ascertain whether Firefox for Mac has this feature and in the event is does will you kindly advise me on how to activate this feature. Your prompt responas will be greatly appreciated. Regards
