Since I upgraded to FF3, there is a site that FF previously remembered the
password and login name for, and now it doesn't. It was even in the "tools

> options > security" list. I deleted this info and I entered the info

manually but FF didn't offer to remember it.

I then went to another site, deleted the password and login and then opened
the site and entered it manually. FF offered to remember the info.

This seems to be the only site that FF doesn't offer to remember info for.
I've deleted, restarted, re-booted and other various things and FF still
won't remember this particular info.

Any suggestions? Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thanks for any ideas.

Robert

try the remember password bookmarklet. Go here:
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password,
and put the icon on your bookmark toolbar. Now, visit the
site, click the bookmarklet, click ok to the popup. Enter
your user name and password, and login. You should now get a
popup asking if you want to remember the password. Did this
work?

That did the trick. Thanks for the information. It *was* a banking site,
BTW.

Thanks again,

Robert

as Dan said in another post, the site could have changed
their format, and turned off the remembering of passwords
function. Sometimes the bookmarklet works, and sometimes it
doesn't. And it really sucks if you have your user name on
one page, and your password on another.

What site? Many sites have opted for the 'extra' security of disallowing
automatic logins. This is to prevent someone from say accessing your
bank account because they have access to your computer, or from children
accessing 'adult' sites because one or more of their parents have an
account there. Without knowing the name of the site in question it is
difficult to answer your question concisely. The site may have once
accepted automatic logins, but changed perhaps?

That was probably the case. It *was* a banking site but the URL that Peter
provided (previous reply) for the remember password bookmarklet did the
trick.
