Because you clicked remember on one site and not on the other?

It's possibly due to the way the login form is created. If it's HTML then the browser can see it and auto fill it. If it's done on the fly with jquery, say, the browser doesn't know about it and therefore can't auto fill it. Unnecessary use of scripts that prevent things like this working is something I find extremely irritating.

Firefox makes a good stab at remembering and auto filling passwords, I find.

Cheers, I'll try firefox but like you find it a real pain and have tried a few settings to no avial, thought it might have been solvable
