There is no 'save this password' button. If you access this site every day, and close Firefox between sessions, you'd have to type your username/password every time. No longer!
It is possible, though seemingly undocumented, to save the username/password inside the HTTP URL (this long has been done with FTP). For example:
http://user:password@layer2.org

Just put this into a bookmark, and you have an easy way to access your password-protected site. Of course, if the password is actually sensitive, you might think twice about saving it in plain text as a bookmark!
The only annoying thing that happens using this method is that you'll see this prompt the first time you try to log in (for any given Firefox session):

Just press OK. While not perfect, this is a heck of a lot easier to deal with than entering the password each and every time.
I have been using Roboform for a year now. I love the program, and don't know what I would do without it. I would recommend it. I made a quick video about the program and posted it on squidoo
