<para>According to the financial institutions, the following hack makes your
browser insecure. You have been warned. Many sites use an MS-IE specific tag 
(autocomplete=off) to prevent autocomplete from working in some forms. This 
tag is now supported in <application>Mozilla</application> to appease the financial institutions. As per 
the requirements of the financial institutions, they will not even accept a 
solution where this a preference option. However our opinion is that it should 
be in the hands of the user. To enable autocomplete to bypass
this restriction, we need to make a slight modification in the code.</para>

<para>Open the file <filename>extensions/wallet/src/wallet.cpp</filename> in
the <application>Mozilla</application> source tree and search for the line:
<screen>#define WALLET_DONT_CACHE_ALL_PASSWORDS</screen>
Then delete or comment out the line.  Now, if anyone tells you MS-IE is user
friendly, give them this example!</para>
