When She gets a new version of FF, She goes through the Settings 
notebook and ticks off those that are relevant for that version, for 
example that FF should save all passwords and login info for the sites 
She uses that requires a login-name and pw. Some sites don't need any 
login name or password at all - for example the www.fass.se which is the 
online version of the physical book called FASS which stands for (in 
English) Pharmaceutical Specialities In Sweden) which contains info of 
every drug that is avaiable here in Sweden whether the drug is a 'Over 
The Couhter" that don't need a prescription and these that requires a 
prescription.
