Hello

I am using Firefox 9.0.1, and “nsLoginManager.js” is not in the mentioned directory, you may find it here:
1) go to “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox”
2) unzip the file “omni.jar” (I used winrar to do this), and I think it is recommended to extract it to “omni” as folder so you don’t replace any of your files.
3) go to “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\omni\components” then look at “nsLoginManager.js”, and edit as you like.
4) compress the content of “omni” folder as a jar file
5) rename it to “omni.jar”
6) replace the old “omni.jar” with the new one.

done

I have followed the steps and the “Do you want to save?” Is now gone, however when I checked the saved password it is not saved. Is there anything that I am not doing correctly? (I am running 3.5.4 and tried with a previous lower version which didn’t work either)

Supposedly it does work for 4.x and beyond. It’s just farther down in the file than it was before. The url below is just one spot I found it so far, there’s a few others. http://superuser.com/questions/73444/firefox-remember-new-passwords-without-prompting

That is a interesting problem, also had it some time ago. Try clearing all cached data – could work, but I can’t guarantee. Sometimes, Firefox works exactly the way it should not, without any logical explanation. :/
