Make Firefox Remember Passwords of Hotmail, Live, MSN & Yahoo Sites
Have you ever wondered why does not Firefox prompt you to save passwords, for the above mentioned sites? Well the fact of the matter is that they tell Firefox not to, due to security issues. If you are a user and have multiple accounts with yahoo or with any of the above mentioned sites, and you browse them from your home, this is for you. If you are checking your mail from work please stop reading now because if you enable this in your office computer others might get into your mail account.
Considering this event in mind, and to increase your privacy, some sites, including many banks and a few other sites such as Yahoo Mail and Microsoft Passport, tell browsers not to remember passwords for visitors using autocomplete=?off?. This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete=?off? temporarily, allowing you to save passwords even on sites that use autocomplete=?off?.
