I was trying to log in to a website but had forgotten my password so I was routed to the security questions. Each time I entered a security question answer, the little Firefox box popped up asking me if I wanted Firefox to remember this "password". Each time I clicked on "Not now" and continued. When I had finally been sent a temporary password, logged into the site and changed the password, I logged out and logged in again. Of course, this time the little box did not pop up offering to remember the password! How do I get Firefox to remember my password?

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.

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