Before, page loading was halted until you clicked remember/never/not now. In Firefox 3, you can just ignore the bar if you don't want the password remembered. One of my favourite additions is that the default theme integrates well with the OS theme! I used to get very annoyed trying to find the theme that *exactly* matches one windows theme or another, but I no longer have to worry :-) Isaac PS.
