I have recently been annoyed by this problem and ended up writing a Jetpack that allows you to selectively override the autocomplete settings of fields. You can get hold of it at http://jetpackgallery.mozillalabs.com/jetpacks/339
Let me know if it works for you as I have only managed to test it on a couple of sites so far.
How do you mean it didn’t work? It didn’t install or when it installed it didn’t do what you expected?
If it didn’t work as expected on a particular website, point me towards the site and I will try it out. As I said, I’ve only managed to try it on sites that I use.
It installed fine. I right-clicked, then clicked Remember Me (if I right-click again, it says forget me, so i assume that part worked ok). Then I log in, but it neither asks me if I want it to remember nor remembers if for me next time I visit the site. The site I tested it on you won’t be able to access, but I’ll have to try again on a site that is publicly accessible and let you know.
Take into account that if you want it to remember a username/password, you need to tell it to remember both fields.
Also the autocomplete functionality requires the fields to have ‘id’s. I have made a hack so that for websites that still insist on using the ‘name’ attribute, RememberMe adds the ‘id’ onto the field for you. However, if the fields have neither attribute its not going to work. I would have to do something really hacky for that.
