If it's happening across all of your login sites, then I'd start by checking Tools &#124; Options and look for the 'Remember passwords for sites' checkbox. It might have gotten cleared in the upgrade. Then go to the Show Passwords button, and take a look to make sure the site (and the URL) shows up in your password list. If none of that works, the only thing to do is gross hackery. Create a Javascript bookmarklet that fills in the password information for you, so it's at least a single click away. I had to do that for one site for a while, because they used two password fields, and one of them got modified during submission, so even if it remembered it on submission, it wouldn't work quite correctly. I also use the Web Developer Toolbar, which includes a 'Forms &#124; Enable Auto Completion' menu item, which sometimes helps. I hope this info is useful! -- Morgan Schweers, Cyber<b>FOX</b>!

I just installed Firefox 2.0, and all of a sudden, my username/password isn&#39;t being inserted in the signon window (it always was before). I tried the usual suspects--I did not mistakenly tell FF not to remember the password for this site; and I also tried the remember password bookmarklet, but all to no avail--FF will not ask me to remember this password. What do I need to do to get around this? Help me please…
