Normally when we enter a username and password in a form on Firefox browser, it will prompt us whether we’d like Firefox to remember the password that we entered. This is to make it easier to log on to Web sites in future. If you haven’t notice, Firefox browser doesn’t seem to prompt you to “Remember Password” for Yahoo Mail and Hotmail website.
Firefox remember yahoo mail password
Some websites, including many banks and a few other sites such as Yahoo Mail and Hotmail, tell browsers not to remember passwords for visitors by using autocomplete=”off”. This is for security purposes to avoid sensitive data being accidentally saved into Firefox password manager and then being retrieved by another person.

But if you prefer to have your username and password saved in your Firefox browser for websites such as Yahoo Mail and Hotmail, then follow the few simple steps below to ignore autocomplete that has been turned off.

1. Go to the website that you want to save user login (For example, Yahoo Mail)

2. Copy the javascript below and paste it to Firefox address bar. You can either press Alt+D or Ctrl+L simultaneously to directly go to Firefox address bar.

You will then see a message box similar to the below appear.
Turn off autocomplete

3. Type your username and password and sign in.

4. Firefox will ignore the autocomplete=”off” code and prompt you to “remember your password“.

Note: This javascript hack will only work on Firefox browser.
