Force firefox 5 to remember all passwords

Hi,

I’ve got three questions:

1) Some sites demand three fields to be filled (e.g. User Name, Password and ID). Using Bookmarklet, Firefox only remembers TWO fields. Is there a way to make FF save all three fields?

2) Some sites use a different method than Auto Complete = Off. How do I save passwords on those sites? (I assume that modifying nsLoginManager.js wouldn’t help).

3) Is there a way to make FF ask for Master Password on specific sites only? (e.g. Bank accounts).

Thank you.

You're welcome

Firefox only remembers the name and password and not other data in the login form.
So you do need that extension if you have to save extra data in that form.
The Autofill Forms extension stores that data using the master password as for the password to encrypt it, so that data is stored with the same security as your login name and password.

You can use this extension if you need to remember more than a name and password field.

Thank you so much.

Is it possible to tweak FF without that extension?

Best regards.
