    Firefox asks for password for logging in sites

    Hello,
    Here I have a little problem with firefox, in fact, usually when I arrive on site or should I log myself in techarena, I used to logged in automatically.

    But since 2 days I must give all away and password for all sites, it's pretty boring!
    Do you have a solution?
    Because if I submit it does supports to save password and id any more.

    Try this for Firefox to remember your passwords:

    click on -> Tools -> Options -> Security -> and select "Save Passwords
    and privacy -> always delete my personal information after closing Firefox.

    Some information
    Some websites prevent Firefox remember a password for security reasons, such as Paypal, Yahoo and many banking sites. It's a waste of time if you visit several times a day your account, however there is a solution for Firefox 3.
    To prevent the backup of the password, these sites use the "AutoComplete = Off" to tell the browser that we should not save the password. To change this feature "On" on a permanent basis and be able to record the passwords of most websites, here's how:

    Go to the folder: C: \ Program Files \ Mozilla Firefox \ components and edit the file nsLoginManager.js
    Locate the following line of code, and add / / (double slash) as indicated below

    Before:
    if (element & & element.hasAttribute ( "autocomplete") & &
    element.getAttribute ( "autocomplete"). toLowerCase () == "off")
    return true;


    After:
    / / If (element & & element.hasAttribute ( "autocomplete") & &
    / / Element.getAttribute ( "autocomplete"). ToLowerCase () == "off")
    / / Return true;


    After editing, save the file and restart Firefox. You can now save all your passwords!

    Many internal sites use NTLM authentication, which reuses your network login as a login for the site. In many organizations, Internet Explorer is configured to allow NTLM on the internal sites, but Firefox is not. You can configure Firefox on Windows to allow certain site

    In the Location bar, type about:config, and press Enter:
    1. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
    2. In the about:config page, search for the preference network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris, and double-click on it.
    3. In the prompt that comes up, type a list of server you want to allow, separated by a comma and a space. For example, if you wanted to allow http://myinternalserver and http://anotherinternalserver, you would type in myinternalserver, anotherinternalserver.
    4. Press OK.


    Now that Firefox is configured to use NTLM on these sites, you should no longer be prompted for your user name and password.
