Getting FF to ask to remember passwords
When I log in at user groups, FF doesn't ask to remember passwords. Is there any way I can manually enter these passwords? And it never has asked to remember when I log on to my Bank page. (Win 7) I loved Netscape for their master password, it worked with no probs.

Set firefox to remember passwords, and look at any exeptions that are set
- use Tools -> Options -> | Security - passwords
- see Security and passwords settings
- and Usernames and passwords are not saved

- Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
- You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.
