Remembering a text field

How do I get Firefox to remember something typed into a specific field? This text box pops up after I select 'Merchant Accept Liability' from the dropdown menu. I have to type 'We accept liability' into the text box at least 200 times a day. If there was some way for Firefox to remember this, it'd be extremely convenient. Attached screenshot.

One of the best rated form fillers is Roboform. It works in Firefox and IE.

Quality Artificial Intelligence
RoboForm is really smart in filling in forms; it is the most precise form filler on the market. We use Artificial Intelligence techniques to achieve this kind of precision and we test RoboForm thoroughly.

Selective Form Filling
You can ask RoboForm to fill just a part of your form, rather than the complete form. Simply select (highlight) the fields that you want RoboForm to fill and click any form filling button -- only the selected fields will be filled.

You could also try one of these Firefox addons:

Fireform

iMacros

Automate Firefox. Record and replay repetitious work. If you love the Firefox web browser, but are tired of repetitive tasks like visiting the same sites every days, filling out forms, and remembering passwords, then iMacros for Firefox is the solution you’ve been dreaming of! Whatever you do with Firefox, iMacros can automate it.

I think the best little tool for remembering text fields and multiple entry text fields like bank websites, is the Form Saver extension.

It's basically javascript bookmarklets that you can save as bookmarks, then when you return to a site where you've previously saved the data, one click from the toolbar and voila! Done!

Simply put, it's the best tool I've found for remembering snippets of info and form data.

You could use it for user name / password data but for security reasons you'd be better off with Secure Login, especially on shared computers.

Thank for the replies. I'll try all of these out and see which works best for me.
