So every site I use autofills with firefox's password remembering system, except the oh-so-frequented facebook. Firefox remembers the username and password in the drop down box of the facebook login forms, but I also use a greasemonkey script (AutoLoginJ) that will find the info firefox remembers and automatically press the button to login for me (so essentially when I go to facebook.com, I'm already on my homepage). So in order to use the greasemonkey script, I firefox to be able to remember my username and password. Any help is much appreciated.

Hello Delta.

Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at getfirefox.com.

As for your issue, see this article:

I hope it helps.

I'm not sure why it says 3.0.6, I'm actually on 3.6.3, which I believe is the newest no? I can never find the betas.

The link didn't really help me. I've tried nearly everything now, so I guess I'll just give up...Thanks for the reply.
