Hacking Firefox to Always Auto Save Password Without Showing Notification Bar:

  1. Close Firefox
  2. Edit nsLoginManagerPrompter.js with notepad which is normally located in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\
  3. Replace the entire lines 642 to 711 with the code below:

    var pwmgr = this._pwmgr; pwmgr.addLogin(aLogin);

alt text

Now whenever you login to any website, Firefox will auto save the site, username and password to the login manager WITHOUT showing the notification bar.

Note: even when you enter the wrong username or password, it will still be saved.

This is one reason why I'm glad it prompts me - so I can wait to say "yes" after I see that the login was correct. – GorillaSandwich Nov 21 at 13:16
if the prompt is about "changing password", did that update it without notifications ? – Revolter Nov 21 at 14:32
well, you can always delete wrong user names/passwords from the password manager. – Molly Nov 21 at 14:53

Looks like this site here has the answer you are lookin' for here

It states that you must have all instances of Firefox closed, navigate to the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\" directory, open up nsLoginManager.js and comment out lines 112 and 121
