autofill saved logins and passwords and don't ask to save logins and passwords for websites
Dear Community,
I have a hand full of passwords I would like Firefox to fill out but stop asking me if I like to save logins and passwords every time I have to login on a websites.
Unfortunately, when I uncheck "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites", Firefox will stop "Autofill logins and passwords", even the saved ones.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Hopefully, Elmar

If you disable "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" then you set signon.rememberSignons to false and this means that you disable the Password Manager and you can't autofill passwords. You can access the logins via Lockwise (about:logins) and you may have Fill Login and Fill Password in the right-click context menu if you have entered the Primary Password (i.e. you are logged in to the software security device (password manager.

Looks like no one know a solution. Could this be solved by writing a plugin?
You can create login block exceptions if this is about websites you visit regularly.
Unfortunately, one can not use regular expression for login exception. This not really solves the problem. Is there not a way to enable auto fill and disable ask to save logins and passwords.
Actually where is the firefox source code maintained? Is it somehow possible to write a patch or ask for this feature in a bug tracker?

Dear cor-el,
This is cool! This solves the problem right click is convenient enough! Thank you for your input!
In the meanwhile I found the source code: https://hg.mozilla.org/ I think this is the latest branch at the moment: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/17f61493037d1a0acacadf7a4350238d0320190f
My thought was too, that I just somewhere slightly have to change the nesting, so that the autofill subroutine still gets executed, even when signon.rememberSignons is False. But since I am not too familiar with the code base, I could not figure out where. Are you familiar with the code base? Am I searching at the right place?
