I have a password protected page that Mozilla 3.5.3 will not save the
password and username for. The "never" button may have been clicked when
the page was opened by username and password for the first time.

Thanks. That didn't work for me. The problem, I think, is that when my
wife was asked if she wanted to to have Firefox save the password, she
clicked "never". What I need to know is how do I undo the "never"
command and have the browser save the password. Thanks.

Have you looked inthe password manager, from options/security?

Well, I went to a page where I had saved my password and clicked on
tools, Form info, and highlighted one of the lines in the top box.
Then I saw all the cookie info, I guess it was, and maybe more. There
was userid and pass, but I don't know if changing these would get rid
of never.


Go to some page you don't care about and look at or record the page
info, then put in a password and check never, and see what changes
there are to the password manager list and the page info. Maybe you
can see where Never is recorded.

Please post back what works and what doesn't work so I won't have to
do all this myself.
