The Remember Me checkbox sets the expiration on your login cookie to two weeks.
Remember Me only works if you don't sign out. If you sign out, we invalidate the cookie and you have to get a new one.
It also only sets that cookie on one computer. If you go to another computer, it won't remember you.
Logging in with a different account will also invalidate the older cookie that you had previously set to Remember Me.

If you want your browser to remember your login and password, I suggest using your browsers password feature.

FYI, your last two logins today were not done with the Remember Me checkbox set.

I have noticed that my current version of firefox no longer auto fills my wetpaint user log on info nor does it ask me if I want to save any new sign on info for wetpaint.
firefox 3.0.4, windows xp 3rd, zonealarm pro security and eset nod 32 AV. No proxy or other network firewall.

That's a Firefox setting you can change.

Tools->Options->Security
