If you are using Firefox’s option to save usernames and passwords for websites that you visited to automatically fill them in when you visit them again you might find a Greasemonkey script called AutologinJ useful. I’m not quite sure what the J stands for but this nice little script presses the login button for you automatically which pretty much means that you can lean back and enjoy the show while Firefox logs you in automatically to the website that you just visited.
This however only works if only one login has been saved for the site in question. I tested it with Gmail, Ebay and some forums and it worked flawlessly. Before you can use AutologinJ you need to install the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox as well which adds support for scripts like AutologinJ.
A good way to find out if only one login has been saved for the website in question is to go into Tools > Options and there on Security > Show Passwords. This displays all saved usernames and passwords and the websites so that you can easily check if more than one login has been saved. If that is the case you either need to delete the other logins or not use the autologin feature on that site.

Well this statement is just plain wrong:

Please follow this slight tweak and you won’t be pulling your hair out:

You are of course right, corrected the article with the correct path.
Thanks Martin, Your are a gentleman, as always!
The only problem I’m seeing with this is on sites that use a pop-up authentication box. Personally still looking for a work-around.
Use sxipper. Does almost anything you want. You still have to click on the desired username if you have multiple but rest all is awesome
