How to bring up Remember Password pop-up for sites if it doesn't show?
I have auto loading of UID and PW for my Google Gmail, but do not get the "Remember PW" pop-up window when I click on the blue Google Calendar icon. The Google account is the same with same UID and PW. How do I set-up auto loading for G-Calendar? Very annoying to have to fill in UID and PW every time I click on G-Calendar. In general, how do I enter UID and PW in the auto-loading Security list for sites where the Pop-up window doesn't come up?

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
