[FF 91.0.2] - Only being able to save the PASSWORD of a specific homepage, but not the USERNAME
Hello,
saving login data for diffrent homepages works in general. But there is one homepage, where Firefox is just able to save the password, but not the username. For every login, i have to type in my mail adress (username) manually. The site where this happens is: https://www.ebike-connect.com/login?lang=de-de You can try it on your own. Just create an free account and try to save your login data.
P.S.: I tried saving the login data with the edge browser and it was no problem. It can log me in automatically.

Hello FredMcD, hello cor-el,
i found an addon which solves my problem. It is called "Autofill".
Thank you very much for your help!

You can try to use "Create New Login" to add this login yourself.
I've already manually added the mail adress as username in the settings, but unfortunately it doesn't help. It seems that Firefox doesn't recognize the textbox for entering the mail adress as a field for putting the username into. I think this behavior has to be fixed by a dev.
OK,m I did some testing and it looks like this is caused by the presence of the autocomplete="new-password" attribute on this input field that Firefox doesn't seem to like. If I remove this attribute then I see "Use Saved Login" in the right-click context menu.
You can use this JavaScript bookmarklet to remove this autocomplete attribute. You can create a new bookmark and paste the JavaScript code in its Location field and invoke this bookmark.
- javascript:void(document.querySelector('input[type=text][autocomplete=new-password]').removeAttribute('autocomplete'));
I get a consent page when I access the login page for the first time and I can run the bookmarklet on this page to have the input field working once I confirm accepting cookies. I don't know if you can make Firefox auto-fill name and password.
Hey cor-el,
thank you very much. Your script works! I was trying to auto-fill the login data using java script (instead of your script):
javascript:(function(){document.getElementById('login__email').value='[email protected]';document.getElementById('login__password').value='MyPassword';this.document.getElementsByClassName("o-button-filled--blue auth__submit-button auth__general-spacing").login_loginButton.click();})();
The problem is, that firefox did not realize, that the textboxes are already filled with the right values. I have to delete and rewrite the last character of the username, and the password. Aftwerwards i have to click the bookmarklet again to login. I have to do further investigations to get this to work automatically. Maybe you have an idea?

Hello FredMcD,
well, the problem isn't really solved. It's just a workaround and it doesn't works perfect. Other browsers like Microsof Edge for example can save the login data for this homepage. I marked cor-el's answer as helpful, but the devs have to fix this issue with an update in the future, right?
