To permanently enable user ID and password Auto Complete on all websites and web pages, go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components folder, and edit the nsLoginManager.js file.
Locate the following lines of code (around line 725 to 727 in Firefox 3), and the comment out the lines by adding // (double slash) in front of the lines.
Before:
if (element && element.hasAttribute("autocomplete") &&
element.getAttribute("autocomplete").toLowerCase() == "off")
return true;
After:
// if (element && element.hasAttribute(”autocomplete”) &&
// element.getAttribute(”autocomplete”).toLowerCase() == “off”)
// return true;
After editing, save the file and restart Firefox browser, and now all passwords can be saved.:p:p

If you need to login everytime even in the same session, then probably its a cookie problem. Just check if your browser is set to accepting cookies. If the problem is in just some specific websites, then probably the cookies are not being set properly by the website!

As said ^^^ , Just clear all the cookies first. Then,

In Firefox : Tools > Options > Privacy > "Check" Accept Third-Party Cookies. This shud help.
