How to auto save passwords in Firefox?

Question

Whenever I log in to Gmail or Facebook, Firefox ask whether to 'Remember password'. I am looking for add ons / plugin for Firefox which will do this but is it possible to set up Firefox to auto save my passwords for sites without each time asking me 'Remember password' ?

Solution 1

There is an add-on: Aptly named Remember Passwords. Another recommendation I saw a couple of times is Saved Password Editor ... it doesn't seem so obvious at first glance but the first review speaks of these limitations too.

Solution 2

The answer here says:

this isn't possible with the built-in options in firefox due to the security implications this would entail.
