From log (thanks!):

Login Manager: (form submission ignored -- autocomplete=off found)

From URL:

<input type="password" size="40" maxlength="200" class="text readonly" id="login.Password" autocomplete="off" readonly="true" name="login.Password" value="">

The |autocomplete| attribute prohibits pwmgr from saving the login, by design.

It's been like this since FF2, so if it did just stop working I'd guess the site changed.
