By mistake i pressed "Never for this site" when firefox first offered to remember my login details first time on gmail.com. Now how can i save my username and password for gmail.com. firefox no longer asks me to save any new login details... How can i re enable that notification to save passwords.

Remove the site from the exceptions: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions

See Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox

  • Make sure that you not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
  • You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
