Sometimes if you have used multiple usernames and firefox remembers the 
passwords to more than one, then firefox will make you enter the 
complete username before it auto fills the password. It this is the 
case, you will have to delete the extra login name from the remembered 
passwords list.

Also, on the login form, if you press the <Down> key in the username 
field, it should show a list of names entered earlier. You can select 
your id from that list.
