In firefox, some passwords I have cannot be saved (I'm not even asked for that), for example fab.com or battle.net
How can I make Firefox remember those passwords?
Some sites will not let you remember their passwords.
Some websites use JavaScript to clear fields or use autocomplete=off to prevent the browser from storing the name and password and Firefox won't save the name in such cases.1
To see how you can workaround that, see Firefox Support, and Here.
Also How to geek has a step by step action.

I found a solution. There is a firefox addon, called:
Saved Password editor After filling in password and username, you can simply rightclick in the filed and choose "save login data" like shown here:
It works for most of the websites who have problems with saving passwords.
An alternative is: RememberPass
Not sure if it works for the JavaScript clearing sites mentionned, but it works for me in Firefox: Edit-Preferences-Security-Click to remember passwords for sites and make sure the websites you want to save passwords for aren't on the Exceptions list and if they are remove them (this might be why you don't get asked to save them in the first place, they might have been placed on the Exceptions list at some point).
Edit -> Preferences -> History
, make sure Firefox is NOT set toFirefox will: Never remember history
