I finally decided to go search bugzilla and find out why. I found bug #242115 that showed someone with the same problem as mine, and so since it hadn't been touched in a while, I added a comment. But today, I decided to create a simple test to see what actually was stopping Firefox and it turned out that it was the autocomplete=off setting. Looking at Firefox code, I found the spot that actually caught this case. Now, what I am requesting is that I can still make Firefox remember the password. In my mind, the password saving is not a form autocomplete feature. That is when Firefox saves other things I type into forms. I see the password manager as a way to remember all the passwords that I have to keep track of. And since I can't change the site to have autocomplete=on, I would like to make Firefox override that, but only for the username and password fields. If there are other fields in the form, those should have autocomplete=off. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter password 2. 3. Actual Results: It doesn't ask me to save the password Expected Results: I think it should

What you wanted to find was bug 63961 for the history (short version: either we support autocomplete=off for usernames and passwords, or banks will block our UA string) and bug 245333 for the repeated wontfixing of changing that in what we ship (and any number of mentions of various workarounds). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 245333 ***
