+Once you've found that file, open it in an editor, and find the section that has isAutoCompleteDisabled, and make it look like this (so it will always return FALSE):
+<code>
+    /*
+    * _isAutoCompleteDisabled
+    *
+    * Returns true if the page requests autocomplete be disabled for the
+    * specified form input.
+    */
+    _isAutocompleteDisabled :  function (element) {
+    //        if (element && element.hasAttribute(”autocomplete”) &&
+    //            element.getAttribute(”autocomplete”).toLowerCase() == “off”)
+    //            return true;
+    return false;
+    },
+</code>
+In recent FF versions the nsLoginManager.js file is located in the "omni.jar" file (or "omni.ja" since FF 10).
+You'd have to open omni.jar with an unarchiver tool and look for your file in the "components" folder.
+After the modification select all files/folders within the omni folder, re-compress them and rename the resultant archive file to omni.jar
+=== Make old Firefox add-ons "compatible" ===
+Find in install.rdf section similar to this:
+<code>
+  <em:targetApplication>
+  <Description>
+	<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
+	<em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
+	<em:maxVersion>3.6.*</em:maxVersion>
+  </Description>
+  </em:targetApplication>
+</code>
+and change maxVersion to something higher...

 Firefox insists on doing huge amounts of I/O when closing, as well as act slow when using the awesomebar, try the following (close down Firefox completely first):
 <code>

 It’s harmless, no data will be lost: it compacts your **__[[sqlite]]__** databases.
