I accidentally removed a website from my saved password list. Now when I return to the site and fill in username and password, Firefox has not asked to save password for this site again. How do I get Firefox to prompt to save the password?

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

You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.


Make sure that there aren't any entries with an empty name in the password manager.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

this is not help. How I can find my password which already "removed" in firefox? I already put the username in site but password doesn't appear anymore. I already enable "remember password for sites". is it still possible to find it again?

Are there currently any passwords saved for that site?

You can also check the about:permissions page to see if there are passwords saved.
You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.
