Firefox Won't Ask to Remember Password

[lynx]

I don't know if this can be changed. If it can it would avoid the need to store passwords in permanent cookies, which is always a potential security risk for those using public computers.

But then if it's a security risk to save password in a cookie it would be to just save the password period.

I don't know if it is still the case but the "remember me" box used to be ticked as default, so if you didn't untick it the cookie got stored. When they know it is user/password info Firefox and IE always ask, that's the difference.

The cookies and the windows remember password thing are two separate things though aren't they
