Firefox 3 and Remember Password
I have been testing Firefox 3 for a bit now, and I have found a very pleasant improvement of the Remember Password feature.
In the current Firefox 2.X, the Remember password feature acts as a popup dialog. The problem with that is that I often doubted to click on ‘Remember’ because I wasn’t sure this was the right User/Password combination for certain sites, so I often clicked on ‘Not Now’ when I thought I might have got that Password wrong.
Now on the Release Candidate, you actually login, and instead of a popup, it actually opens the dialog as a bar right below the tabbing area.
This allows you to wait a little bit and see if the password actually worked. If you were able to login to the protected area, then you can click on ‘Remember’ from the new dialog.
That is great!
