How do I add remember password for a new web site?
I am trying to have Firefox remember a password for a specific website. I go to Options, then Security but have great difficulty thereafter. Can you give me specific data to enter, where to enter it and how to save the password? Thank you Al Landry

First make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
The website might be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
You can right-click the name input field and open the built-in Inspector via Inspect Element. You can see if there is an autocomplete=off attribute and click the "off" text to edit this value and change it "off" to "on", so you get autocomplete="on". Repeat this for the password input field, so both fields have an autocomplete="on" attribute. Note that autocomplete="off" can be an attribute of the form tag that contains the log in input fields.
Possible workarounds:
- You can toggle the signon.overrideAutocomplete pref to true on the about:config page.
- You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.

Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.
