Hi, I created a new battle.net account and as usual firefox asked if I want to "remember password" I clicked "not now" finished what I was doing/closed firefox.

later on I went to battle.net logged in and firefox did not ask to "remember password" and after trying everything I know I still can't get it to save the battle.net login info. weird.

I've checked the password "exceptions" section/nothing there and the login info is not listed in "saved passwords" I've closed firefox and re-opened many times, each time with the same result.

As a test I created a mozilla account and the "remember" password window showed up just fine (it wasn't hidden and no key in location bar). went directly to battle.net/logged in and again firefox does not offer to remember the login info. I've read through the help section and followed all the trouble shooting steps with no luck... I'm stumped.

I'd say that firefox can't remember a password from that site except it offered to remember the first time. any help with what I'm missing here would be great, thanks - Bill

Chosen solution

The eu.battle.net website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.

You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
