Tried that for mail.yahoo.com in Ubuntu/Firefox 3.5.3. It not only crashes Firefox but the whole desktop (logout) and then when Firefox is opened again the settings have returned to default (not remember passwords).

Try deleting all of the passwords for the specific site that is not working (write them down first ) and then opening the site and hitting remember password.

Seems like it just need to be refreshed.

I do not know if this bookmarklet works in FF3 specifically, didn’t try.I first found this nice article here, appreciated the method, but then I dragged and dropped a bookmarklet from the very old “jesse’s bookmarklets site”. I already knew(I have used different developer, search, zap etc bookmarklets for FF and for…IE6) to my FF3 toolbar. That worked in my FF3+ for Yahoo Mail(and I wrote a post in greek about that site).

Thanks for the bookmarklet. It was extremely frustrating. Whenever I tried to sign in in Yahoo from Firefox, I had to type password and mail info. You can drag and drop the above “Save Password Bookmarklet” to the Bookmarks toolbar I believe.

I FOUND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK IN FIREFOX 3!!!

Some web sites (web-based e-mail sites or banking web sites) have autocomplete=”off”. It is dangerous to turn this on, and one should only turn this on if one uses a Master Password in Firefox 3.

if one uses a Master Password and one wishes to turn this off, one needs to go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components, and comment out these lines in nsLoginManager.js:

// if (element && element.hasAttribute(”autocomplete”) &&
// element.getAttribute(”autocomplete”).toLowerCase() == “off”)
// return true;

Similar method worked for me with Yahoo mail and Firefox 2. However, it doesn’t really work with Firefox 3. In Firefox 2, once you have everything set up, when you get to the login page everything is ready to go, you just click “Sign In”. In Firefox 3, the best I can get is this: you have to click “remember password” on your toolbar, then start typing your sign in name in the Yahoo ID field. It offers the full name, which you click, and then your password is filled in. Then you click “Sign In”.

I have seen similar reported elsewhere.

It works for me. It doesn’t work really well with PayPal and Firefox 3 though. I have to wait for the page to finish loading, then click the (already filled in) email address for the autocomplete to take action.

This still doesn’t seem to work for paypal; it says it’s saving the password but it doesn’t autocomplete upon next login.
