Can I get the "Remember Password" prompt back

I searched an found almost the same question, but not quite.

Even though I probably shouldn't I have been letting FF remember my passwords to a lot of websites that don't really matter . . . including a couple of "junk" freemail accounts that I use for newsletters and spam magnets.

FF stopped remembering the password to one of my Yahoo accounts even though it still offers up the pw for the other one. Since security isn't really an issue with these and the convenience is awfully nice, is there a way to get the remember prompt back for the one account?

Thanks

I guess I should add that my exceptions list is empty.

The Yahoo log in website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.

You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.

Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

Thanks. I do get the drop-down list for the other account. I was surprised when the one account stopped offering because I had changed/deleted it in the past and gotten the option with the next log-in.
