I use an add-on called Remember Passwords:

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/remember-passwords

I have used this addon through several versions of Firefox
and Windows.  I currently have the latest version of
Firefox, on a Windows 7 x64 computer, and that addon still
seems to work OK.  However, I cannot guarantee it, as I have
not saved a password since I got this computer.
