GMail added the autocomplete="off" attribute to the password field, which we
respect. If you encrypt your passwords (not the default in Mozilla, but is in
Firefox) you could go to about:config and set the
wallet.crypto.autocompleteoverride pref to true and then Mozilla will ignore the
autocomplete attribute.

I am unable to find the wallter.crypto.autocompleteoverride pref in
about:config. Please confirm.

After adding the profile and restarting Firefox, I navigated to gmail page and
logged in. The password manager did not prompt to save the password. Please confirm.

Oh, *firefox*. That's a completely different password manager implementation.
I'll reassign.
The bug as written is invalid. Google uses autocomplete="off", we respect that.
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/components/passwordmgr/base/nsPasswordManager.cpp#1052
If you want to change this bug to a feature request like "Firefox needs a way to
override autocomplete=off like Mozilla" then maybe that'd be OK. But I'm sure
Firefox wouldn't use wallet. prefs.
Of you could just get the "remember password" bookmarklet from www.squarfree.com
(note: you need to open the login frame in its own window for that to work on
gmail).
