Firefox used to remember my name, email, URL, and so on when I comment on blogs. Now it doesn't anymore--even on my own blogs! Or, rather, it doesn't on my intel iMac, but it still does on my G4 iBook. Any ideas on how to fix?

would u elaborate ur problem?

one possible situation i can think of is that when firefox remembers more than one info for same form on certain page, it will not show anything by default until u click the form and press "down" or until u input first letter.

Sure, when I comment on a form, it used to automatically enter my name, email, and URL, like in the attached picture. Now those fields are blank.

No, it doesn't show up when I do any of those things.

Okay, I think I partially figured it out.

Under Preferences --> Privacy, the box entitled "Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar" needs to be checked.

However, this doesn't seem to eliminate the problem completely -- it suggests entries but doesn't automatically fill the dialog with what I entered before.
