After so many attempts to enter a site I was once registered to, but not

I hope that's clear ;-)
The Password Manager for SeaMonkey 1.x had a preference variable (set
either by going to about:config or by editing user.js) to remember
passwords where the Web site did not want you to remember them.
For SeaMonkey 2.x, there is a new Password Manager that no longer uses
that preference variable. Thus, it attempts to remember far fewer
passwords. See bug #425145 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425145>. Apparently, the
Password Manager developers believe the desires of browser users are not
as important as the desires of Web site owners.
There is a workaround for this, which can make Password Manager in
SeaMonkey 2.x remember even more passwords than it ever did in SeaMonkey
1.x. The workaround is described at
<http://cybernetnews.com/firefox-remember-passwords/>. While that Web
page does not describe the workaround for UNIX or Linux, it should be
the same after you locate your nsLoginManager.js file, which is in a
subdirectory (likely named "components") under the directory where
SeaMonkey is installed.
yes but note should be added if you download a complete new version of
SM/FF and install you have to repeat this change. if you do just the
incremental upgrade from within SM/FF it doesn't necessarily write over
it so you need to book mark this page or copy the instructions some
where for safe keeping
