I have a mac osx 10.2.8 and use firefox 1.5. I have incorrectly chosen on some sites to not remember passwords. I cannot figure out how to allow me to change my mind and allow it to remember the passwords. I went to firefox>references>privacy>passwords>view passwords>passwords never saved but the box is empty and there isn't any button to undo and since there isn't any names in the box, I can't highlight any of the sites to alter. Any ideas? I am a novice computer user and have no idea what to do.

Script as downloaded has if (showalert=1)
instead of if (showalert==1)

I was able to make the change for Firefox 1.5 (changing "x.attributes["autocomplete"]" with "x.attributes.getNamedItem("autocomplete")" and it worked for me.

Also, you can remove alerts or other portions of code by commenting out the line(s) - open script in edit mode to view other examples. You can comment out any line by adding 2 forward slashes in front of it:

Example:
// commented line here

If you want to comment out many lines, you can either add 2 forward slashes in front of each line, or use the 2nd method of placing a begin comment indicator (/*) followed by an end comment indicator (*/). Anything between these 2 indicators is ignored:

Example:
/*
This text is ignored. You can comment out the alert so you are not bothered. Initially, it is nice to ensure the script works, but then it is nice to disable alert by commenting out the code.
*/

The script does not work with Firefox 1.5.
I replaced
x.attributes["autocomplete"]
with
x.attributes.getNamedItem("autocomplete")

The latter is according to W3C DOM specification and should work with all browsers, the former is shortcut in some browsers.

meep:

I agree that it seems pointless and should be off by default, but until then, just change showalert=1 into showalert=0 in the beginning of the script.

This script causes an annoying popup. Please disable that, and the script will be useful. It seems everytime it does it's job, it notifies you with this message:
"Greasemonkey removed autocomplete=off from 0 forms and from 1 form element."
and then you have to click OK to continue onward. What's the point in the notification? If it weren't for that, this would be a good script.
