I would like to save usernames only but not passwords when I log into a website, but Firefox cookies save both or none at all. Can I save only the id without saving the password?

Chosen solution

Try this

1. Make sure you have "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" checked in your browser.

To check that,

Open Menu->Options->Privacy & Security->Forms & Passwords

2. If the above check box is checked, then whenever you enter username & password in any website Firefox will ask you to save username & password

3. Click on Don't Save. So Firefox will save the user name in form data.

4. When next time you open that website and click on user name it will show you the list of entries(If you used multiple use names on same site else will show only one user name) available for that filed.

When I select "Don't save", Firefox does not save user id either. Now when I remove the saved logins in Setting, whenever I enter the a previous user id, the password automatically pops up again. How do I prevent this?

I removed Saved Logins again for all the sites and it seems to be working now, no more passwords popping up, just user id. I don't know what happened differently this time. Thanks sairamkukadala !
