On step 3, do you mean the dialog doesn't go away when you click Remember? If so, do you see any errors in the error console? Can you provide an example site where this is occuring

The dialog does not go away. No errors. Every site that I attempt to save a password or username it does not work. I have no saved usernames or passwords.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
If it still doesn't work in safe mode, please create a new profile for testing purposes and see if that allows you to save -> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile. This will allow us to determine if there is something in your profile that is causing the problem.

Let's set signon.debug to true and check the error console -> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Signon.debug
Make config change
Restart FF
Clear the error console
Go to a site with a login form
Login
Click on Remember Password
Paste error console info to this bug (if long, attach as a txt file)
