Firefox has stopped asking to save my log-in passwords on "certain" websites. I checked my tools options, there's a check mark in the remember password box, and there's nothing in the "exception" or "allow or block" options. Can you help, please? Thank you.

On which sites? It is possible for sites to tell the browser not to let the user save their username/password

Hi, fm, some of the sites are, Hulu, Target, BestBuy, Doubleday book club, etc. The save password option has not popped up for any of these sites. I have tried uninstalling firefox, deleting my details, and reinstalling and starting from scratch, but it didn't help. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks for taking the time to respond.

The examples I checked all have autocomplete=Off which prevents Firefox from saving the passwords. There are extensions and/or bookmarklets that get around this. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/why-doesnt-autocomplete-always-work-in-firefox/ has 2 options and Google has a few more.

Some other posters on here have postd their solutions before, so if you search for autcomplete you should get some results
