The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

Hey ajacob,
Go to Tools >Options >Security tab click on Saved passwords. This will give you a list of sites that you have saved a password for. Just find your site and delete that entry.
There is a lot of useful information in this article about the Firefox Password Manager. It should answer any other questions you might have.
You can also remove the cookies from that site to make the site forget you if you've created a remember me cookie by going to Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
After that you should be able to save a new password with no problems.
Hopefully this helps!
Hello Matt_G,
Thanks for your instant reply! I have already done that to delete the old saved password. But now the site is not giving me an option to save the new password. That was my issue. I hope you can still help me! Thank you so much!
