Thanks for that cor-el.

Are you able to answer the following:

In previous versions it always asked to save passwords etc. but seems to rarely ask that anymore. How can make sure this feature is still working?

Next to the 'Back' and 'Forward' pages there used to be a 'down arrow' that allowed to to see previous pages you had visited and skip several pages if you wanted to.

Thanks again, Dennis

You're welcome

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.

• 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
• Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically and won't offer to store new passwords.

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:

• Right click on the Back or Forward button
• Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

You can look at this extension:
