Some Web sites block browsers from remembering passwords.  There was a
capability using a pair of preference variables to override that block
in many -- but not all -- cases.

The capability was removed when the Password Manager was rewritten for
Firefox.  See bug #425145 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425145>.  The sentiment
among developers appears inclinde not to fix this.

The best workaround that I found is at
<http://cybernetnews.com/firefox-remember-passwords/>.  This actually
works for sites where even the old capability did not work.  The problem
is that you must manually tweak the nsLoginManager.js every time you
update SeaMonkey.

Note that the Activate Autocomplete extension should be avoided.  See
bug #529091 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529091>.

Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications.  You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.
