Firefox will not prompt to remember a pasword for one website although it is turned on and generally works.
When logging in to the Discover.com website, the "remember password" pop-up does not appear. I have checked the saved passwords for duplicates that might cause the problem, but there are none. I have a lot of saved passwords, so the system generally works. Tried the "delete auto complete" caplet, but that did not solve the problem.

The website may be using autocomplete=off in the input form to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I had already tried the bookmarklet, and it didn't solve the problem. I suspect Discover is one of those sites that has other means to defeat autocomplete. Does anyone else use Discover.com and is able to save the password?
Be aware that you can't run the bookmarklet via the location bar.
You need to create a bookmark and paste the JavaScript code in the location field.
As an alternative you can run the code in the Scratchpad (Web Developer > Scratchpad;Shift+F4).
