Wayne,
When you are prompted to remember a password you've entered into a Web 
site with Firefox, press alt-R for remember. This will take you to the 
list of options. Press the tab key a few times. There is a menu which my 
screen reader reads as a submenu but you need to press the tab key one 
more time at this time and there is a remember password button. Press 
the spacebar to get FF to remember the saved password.
Ctrl-H should bring up history in Firefox as well.
