You need to create a bookmark (name: Remember Password) and paste the JS code in the location field.

javascript:(function(){var ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function n(i,what){return i+" "+what+((i==1)?"":"s")}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit="";++cs;}if(x.attributes["autocomplete"]){x.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes["autocomplete"]){y.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++cea;}}}alert("Removed autocomplete=off from:\n"+n(ca,"form")+"\n"+n(cea,"form element")+"\n\nRemoved onsubmit from:\n"+n(cs,"form")+"\n\nAfter you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password.")})();

You can also create a bookmark with the javascript bookmarklet code as the location with a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" to make it easier to use the bookmarklet.

If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) on the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a pop-up dialog that opens from the key icon on the location bar
