I do not know if this is due to a Gmail bug or FF bug, but FF never remembers a password for the Gmail login screen as it does for other web login screens. (my list of sites for which never to save passwords is empty and I have that feature switched on).
I am using the 1.0RC1 for Linux now, but the same problem already existed with the 1.0PR.

I am mostly posting this here to learn whether all others are having problems too?
Or can somebody who knows how it is check the web page to see if Gmail "forces .... not to remember"? How can that be done?

If you want Password manager to work on pages like this, there is a VERY simple method:
BOOKMARKLETS
Go to this page: http://ostermiller.org/bookmarklets/utilities.html
Scroll down to "Remember Passwords" and DRAG the link to your personal toolbar. Go to a page with autocomplete=off, e.g. gmail. Press your new bookmarklet. A javascript popup informs you, that one form has had autocomplete disabled. Enter your username and password. Firefox now asks if you want to remember username/password.
Done.

Oh, btw johann_p... you're running SuSE right? Does Firefox look right to you? On my Suse 9.1 box (runnign KDE 3.2), I'm getting lots of extra spacing and large buttons (in the toolbars). Customize toolbars page looks completely wrong and selecting small icons doesn't change a thing (and is hard to select because the look is so utterly messed up).
Thanks,
fyo

Thank you TheOneKEA and fyo for your help!!
I am using Suse 9.1 professional with KDE updated to 3.3 and FF looks fine here - apart from the customize dialog that always looked odd, but I think that is on purpose
My icons look fine and small icons changes them to be small.
Are you using the default theme?

johann_p,
Yes, I am using the default theme. The problem for me is that Firefox has extra spacing around all the icons in the navigation bar (especially). Are you using KDE or Gnome with your SuSE?
Checking agian... changing to large icons does actually increase the size slightly, but the whole look is still wrong. Too much spacing and the background is "streaked". Like this: http://www.gjk.dk/~krn/snapshot1.jpg
Note the streaking and the extra space above and below the navigation bar.
