How do I get Firefox to autofill Hotmail password?
My problem started with trying to find a way to get Firefox to
autofill usernames and passwords. Sometimes Firefox does
and sometimes it only half does and sometimes it doesn't at all.
I zeroed in on Hotmail, trying to simply get the password to
autofill in the Log In of my Hotmail Sign In page. Username
fills in automatically just fine, with a little prompt by simply
starting typing my username, then a drop down box appears,
then I simply click on the name in the drop down box and it
fills in. But the password will not fill in.
Research and people's tips led me to Greasemonkey,
Greasefire, and Firebug where I learned that webpages can
be altered to suit ones tastes.
In the process, there can be a fix for my Hotmail problem as
well. Or so I'm told.
Thus far, I have been unable to much understand Greasemonkey,
or the others, nor have I been able to make much progress
toward solving my Hotmail problem of getting the password to
fill in automatically. Or where I can ultimately take Greasemonkey
to suit my needs!
Is there anyone who can direct me in what I should do next?
I am in unknown territory.
Thank you.

It is extremely difficult to know how I am awarding points as this technical glitch is not being fixed. When I go to award points, comments are disassociated with the persons who made them-thus I can only guess as what I am awarding to whom. This makes the third time I have had to bring this matter to someones attention. I can only hope this situation will be fixed soon but it looks like it is being ignored.
I want to award all points to DanielleFavreau but to space it over both her comments equally. I hope this is what ends up happening. Thank you for the expert assistance.
Can someone fix this matter?

Can I delete or change my passwords I just now saved with Last Pass?
Also, I didn't give them all my personal info just yet. I am afraid to. Stuff like social security number, credit card number, etc. Is that some kind of autofill function for when I place online orders? Can I go back and give them that info if I decide to? Or is it best not to? They say they are secure-are they? Can I cancel and have my info deleted from them at any time?
Can I continue to add more and more passwords and usernames with them as I continue to explore new websites?
With Last Pass seeming to work and suit all my needs now, I am wondering if I need your other suggested offer-the Auto Hot Key. Just how would it mesh with Last Pass to help me when Last Pass seems to be doing it all for me now?
I guess I don't need Greasemonkey for my autofill needs now. Still, there seems to be much there to intrigue me about Greasemonkey and its accompanying sites. What is there to it? How do I learn more? Like I said, I can't seem to understand it on m own.
Thanks for everything. I look forward to any further replies.
