Hi,
Yes, the HTML code of a web page can disallow password caching. I didn't
think that was the case since Firefox will save the login information. Banks
and other secure sites sometimes do this.

Did you delete any/all cookies from that site?

Clearing all passwords was my secret weapon. ;-) I don't know what else to
try.
