 +\\ 
 +windows 
 +  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\nsLoginManager.js) 
 +\\ 
 +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> </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...
