I've tried searching but not found the answer. In 7, I now find my user name for various sites are not saved even though I click save. I use Firefox as my browser. This never happened with XP. Am I missing something?

In Firefox, check Tools/Options/Security/Passwords and make sure that "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked.

Also, the newer versions of Firefox have a Private Browsing Feature.... make sure that you're not using that. It will intentionally not remember anything you are doing after the fact.
