Your problem is that a growing number of Web sites use JavaScript to handle logins, which is not supported by Password Manager. See bug #355063 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355063>. In other cases, the user ID and password are entered on separate pages. While the Password Manager can supply the password in this case, the password had to be saved when the Web site had both user ID and password on the same page. That is, it cannot save the password in this case. This is bug #348941 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348941>. Then there are Web sites that actively block the saving of passwords. There used to be an easy tweak to defeat most (but not all) such blocks, but a change in the Password Manager eliminated our ability to do that tweak. This is bug #425145 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425145>. Installing the Remember Passwords extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/remember-passwords/> is a good work-around for this. -- David E.
