autocomplete no longer working, what happened to nsLoginManager.js?
I used to have a modification to nsLoginManager.js in the function _isAutocompleteDisabled() which forced a "return false". This was wonderful at remembering passwords for *all* sites, even those that set autocomplete=off.
Now, I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 (Firefox for Ubuntu) and I can't seem to find this fine any longer.
Where is the function _isAutoCompleteDisabled() now?
Or, is there another way (Not a bookmarklet) to force autocomplete to ON irrespective of the sites preferences?

If you do not want to use the bookmarklet then you have to use a Greasemonkey script that works similar as the bookmarklet and removes the autocomplete=off directive.
Well, that wasn't the question.
Is nsLoginManager.js still around and is there a function like _isAutoCompleteDisabled() or a way to accomplish this other than a bookmarklet.

I also dearly miss this solution- forcing that function to return false made life easier by autocompleting all fields, and probably sped up Firefox to boot (if only marginally). By contrast, using a GreaseMonkey script is only going to slow things down. It doesn't seem like the right solution to me.
Just to to inform you all.
The nsLoginManager.js file is stored in the file omni.jar
This file is just a zip file that you can open and edit. On Linux a program like MidNite commander (mc) makes it possible to edit this file on the fly. Once you open it you'll see a directory called "components" it's in there. Just edit it and you'll be able to use firefox like before.
Is that solution still valid in FF8?
