[pmwiki-users] Remember Password Feature in Firefox

I believe the problem is one of FF's making. The password is
associated to the "website", not the page - and I think they mean by
that the domain.

But you say the same thing doesn't happen on non-pmwiki sites? Do you
have experience where different pages on the same domain have
different passwords?
