How do I place my new ID # into NYPL? I got a new card.
I had to get a new library card in the library. I was able to erase the old number by going to Tools, Options, Security. How do I put my new card number into the system so that when I got to the NYPL site, it will automatically come up correctly?

The website uses 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.
No, it didn't help me. It's beyond my ability to correct this deficiency. I did try but there's such a maze of territory to go through that I lost my way countless times.
You need to create a bookmark (name: Remember Password) and paste the JS code in the location field.
javascript:(function(){var ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function n(i,what){return i+" "+what+((i==1)?"":"s")}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit="";++cs;}if(x.attributes["autocomplete"]){x.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes["autocomplete"]){y.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++cea;}}}alert("Removed autocomplete=off from:\n"+n(ca,"form")+"\n"+n(cea,"form element")+"\n\nRemoved onsubmit from:\n"+n(cs,"form")+"\n\nAfter you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password.")})();
You can also create a bookmark with the javascript bookmarklet code as the location with a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" to make it easier to use the bookmarklet.
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the login form, but before submitting the login form by clicking the button on the page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) on the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a pop-up dialog that opens from the key icon on the location bar

chava: exactly how did you "erase the old number by going to Tools, Options, Security. " I see no way to replicate that in v.8
cor-el: frankly, you might as well be writing Japanese. Your answers are COIK. Please write your solution in a manner that a normal layman could follow. Assume a normal layman doesn't know how to find anything you don't specifically provide directions for.
- Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list

You can also remove a saved name and password here:
