remember passwords
All my settings are correct and I have checked to see that the website is not in the Exception list. The website does allow saving the user name and password but Firefox will not remember the info for the site I go to 2-3 times per day.

Is this about saving the username and password in the Firefox Password Manager or about a checkbox on a website to make the website remember you?
The latter is about a special cookie that stores your login data (session id). If you do not keep this cookie then you need to login again with each visit.
Are you closing extension in between these visits or do you keep Firefox open?
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an Allow exception you may want to keep
Let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies instead of using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cookies.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: [ ] "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed"
You can create an Allow exception to keep specific cookies. Note that you only keep cookies with an Allow exception when you use "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed", all other ways to clear cookies do not honor exceptions and clear all specified cookies (time range).
