Some sites (like and others) like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.

If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute. http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password (bookmarklet)
