Since you specifically mentioned gmail and yahoo, I will provide a trick to save passwords even in those sites with firefox.On Apr 8, 2005 2:14 AM, Philippe Marzouk <phil-antispam@ozigo.org> wrote:This is a Microsoft extension which is now supported by most browsers.

go to http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password Drag the "remember password" bookmarklet to the bookmarks toolbar Logout of your gmail's account Go to gmail.google.com Enter login, passwords, check in the box Now click on the remember password bookmarklet Say yes if firefox prompts you to save the password. You can repeat this with mail.yahoo.com also.Once you are done, the bookmarklet can be removed from the "bookmarks toolbar".
Warning:- By default firefox stores the passwords unencrypted. You can see the exact passwords by going to Edit -> preferences -> view saved passwords. If you are the only person using the computer, then it probably is fine. But if multiple persons use it, then I would sincerely advice against using the "saved passwords feature".
