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.
