Make Firefox Remember Any Password, No Bookmarklet Required

Fri, Feb 13th, 2009

The CyberNet blog previously showed us how to make Firefox remember any password, even for high-security websites that prevent password saving. That hack doesn't always work in Firefox 3, but they've got another solution.

By changing one value in a Firefox configuration file—found at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\nsLoginManager.js in Windows, and Firefox.app\Contents\MacOS\components\nsLoginManager.js on Macs (the location will vary for Linux users, best to search for it), you can have Firefox ignore any flags thrown down by websites to prevent password saving.

Our system thought this story was mainly about: Linux Users, Bookmarklet, Hack
