Firefox doesn't save my form information.
Hello,
I love Firefox but I am having a problem with it not saving my form information. I have it set to save that information under Tools-->Option-->Privacy. But it still will not save my form information. Any ideas why would be great. I have searched for an answer but have had no luck.
Thank You

Lots of sites do not allow Firefox password manager to save userid/password

from a post by the-edmeister
there really is no way to 'manage' that info. You choose to either not save the info or save it; if you save it, you can delete incorect or mis-typed entries by hitting <Ctrl+Delete>. That's really the only 'management' available in the "vanila-Firefox".
Extensions available for setting up form information:
InformEnter extension adds a small, clickable icon next to every input field in a web form, from where you can select the item to be inserted - no typing required. You can configure it to display your frequently used information such as name, email, address

AutoFill extension is a semi-faithful recreation of Google's IE Autofill function in Mozilla Firefox (with some additional features).

Possibly the file that data is saved in may have gotten set to Read Only. Go to your profile folder and look: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder
Right-click on a file -> Properties will let you see if it's Read Only. None of the files in your profile should be Read Only (but the folders always are). The file you're concerned with is formhistory.dat. If it's Read Only, unset that and you're back in business.

Based on cm25's comments, I'm thinking it might be the Autofill extension, which I did use (and liked a lot) in FF 1.0.7, but can't get to work in FF 1.5 RC3. I am using the same FF profile, just with Autofill uninstalled. Most of my other extensions were successfully updated, either by me manually, by their authors or with MR. Tech's Local Install or Nightly Tester Tools.
