Over and over again I’ve tried to go into TOOLS, OPTIONS, SECURITY, etc. and checked REMEMBER PASSWORD but each and every time I log into Firefox now, I am asked over and over again for my ID and password on every single site that used to have the automatic ID/password filled in. This is good reason to delete Firefox forever.

My question was answered by the announcement of the password manager vulnerability. So I’ll stick with RoboForm, which won’t fill forms unless there is an exact URL match and it warns when it fills in sensitive fields, so it will catch invisible autofills.

I have a question regarding saved passwords and anti-phishing. Will Firefox only supply saved passwords to the exact URL from which they were culled? If so, it seems like a good anti-phishing feature. Does the saved passwords feature warn about phishing sites, or allow users to override a bad URL and fill the phishing site?
