That's the same fix as at <http://cybernetnews.com/firefox-remember-passwords/> but with much less explanation. I code this change for each complete install of SeaMonkey on my PC and check to see if it is still coded for each incremental patch. I also comment the change, with my name in the comment to facilitate finding it for checking after an incremental patch. Comments are bracketed with /* and */. -- David E.
