how to remember password after pressing never?
when asked the first time to save a password for a site, i pressed no. Now I changed my mind and want firefox to remember the password. I went into options>security>password exceptions to delete the website but there were no websites int eh exceptions window. I am not in private browsing mode. how do I get firefox to remember the password for this site?

by SwarnavaThe 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.

I did that but when I pressed 'exceptions', the pop-up window was empty-there were no websites listed. I changed my history settings to 'always remember history' but still have the problem
