I checked and I'm set to: Firefox will remember history, Not: always using pvt mode, Not: clearing history when i close browser session, restarted in safe mode.. I manually cleared history and reset Firefox and now It only remembers the 1st thing you type in and nothing more. Running Windows XP Pro and another PC with same problem is running W7. This has been working great for years and suddenly stopped. TNX

You can try to use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the formhistory database file.
