for some reason Firefox (1.0.4) refuses to save my password when I logon to these forums, making me have to logon every single time I come here. I went to Tools menu -> Options -> Privacy -> Saved Passwords -> clicked "View Saved Passwords...", then clicked "Show Passwords" in the passwords window. Sure enough, only my username is listed there, and not my password.
The only thing I could think of doing was deleting my saved logon from that list, and then trying to enter my user/pass on these forums again. But every time I try that, it's the same result - only the username is saved by Firefox.
The theory I have why this is happening is because, when I enter my user/pass and hit the Login button, my password gets cleared from the text box instantly, meaning that when Firefox comes to saving the user/pass, it can only save the username because the password got cleared straight away. Perhaps if someone could tell me a way for the password to NOT get cleared so Firefox could save it, that might also be a good solution.
edit : I can confirm that my theory is correct, if I go to other forums and enter my user/pass, Firefox is able to save the user/pass for those forums which do NOT clear my password straight away. So currently, this issue is only occurring on these forums.
