Saving ALL Passwords In Firefox – http, https…you name it

Fri, Oct 3, 2008

Firefox

One of the Firefox extensions I actually am still missing was the ‘Save All Passwords’ since Firefox 3 has rolled out.  I know it may an additional security risk, but I play it safe and have my own ways of protecting my critical websites.  I just find it extremely annoying not to be able to save my username and password on certain websites, such as:

https://login.yahoo.com

Well, fortunately I’ve found the fix, and it’s simply a few lines of code that need to be modified in the file ‘nsLoginManager.js:’.  The location of this file is: ‘c:\program files\mozilla firefox\components\’ and here are the three lines of code to comment out.

// if (element && element.hasAttribute(”autocomplete”) &&
//   element.getAttribute(”autocomplete”).toLowerCase() == “off”)
//   return true;

Enjoy saving your passwords, just make you are protecting them at the same time.

UPDATE

Here is another options for saving ALL passwords.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since. My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up. Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about.
