3. Click the bookmark 'Enable Password Saving' to activate autocomplete.
4. Enter username/password
5. Submitting it and Firefox will offer remembering these credentials.
6. The next time you open the login site, Firefox offers the credentials after you type the first letter of username even if the autocomplete is off.
7. To change the stored password, you have to execute the Enable Password Saving before entering the new information.
The bookmarklet works in MSIE7 as well but for some reason IE never auto-completes even autocomplete is turned on in application itself. May be a hidden security setting.
Please post back if you can make it work in MSIE7.
