Firefox 8, will not save username on some sites, is there a settings file I can add it to manually?
For most sites, FF8 saves my login info. For some sites it will not even save my username. One site in particular, it used to be saved (I think I added it to a settings file somewhere in a previous version), but I deleted that login username, and now I can't get it to save my new username.
Is there a file somewhere that can be edited so that the username does show up?
Thanks,

The 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.

Had already tried what was on that page, still no luck.
I would assume there is a Firefox file that stores the username/passwords.
Any idea what it is called, and where it is at?
Maybe are you talking about key3.db?

Thanks for the help!
