Customizing Firefox

[RonaldMacDonald]

I am using 3.0.10 with Leopard 10.5.7. The way the older versions of Firefox worked was if you saved a password to the keychain and then return to the webesite at some future time, it would automatically display the user ID and PW in the login fields of the site.

But now I find you have to type the first character of the user ID in order for it to display the rest of it. I find that a pain in the neck. Can anyone tell me how to get it to work the old way? Either with terminal or an add-on I can trust? If I am not mistaken, there is a way to enter an area in FF that displays a long list of unix defaults that you can change.

I believe what you're looking for is "Autofill," although in Firefox, it seems to be labeled "Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar" under the "Privacy" pane of Firefox's preferences.

Turn that on and see if it helps. You may need to visit the pages in question and re-enter your information, then re-visit them again to see if it worked.
