Hi All,

I have a typical requirement in ff 3.5.15, where i want to save the password for any login. but i do not want to use the auto fill for filling the password automatically.

In short , i want to use the password save option but disable autofill . Is it posible.

Thanks in advance

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name

Set the pref signon.autofillForms to false on the about:config page. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
