Beat the nagging login screens at all those pesky sites that require free registration.

When you read NYT or Mercury Times or some such news site, they require a pesky free registration. Bugmenot has been a neat community service that allows users to bypass compulsory web registration.

Now, how cool to not have to do anything but right-click in Firefox and retrieve the login info immediately?! The good folks at Roachfiend seem to have done precisely that. One nifty extension this one.

In Firefox, just click on this link and the extension will install automatically. Next time you start Firefox, all you need to do is right-click inside the login form of the site that requires the registration, wait a couple of seconds, and the form is automatically filled! Here goes:

When you do this, and “nothing happens”, most likely Firefox has disabled the extension from installing. You’ll see a yellow bar above this page then, which is a feature of Firefox. Click on that bar and ALLOW the site Roachfiend.com in your list of Firefox allowed sites.

Enjoy! The Roachfiend site has some other plugins, while you’re at it.
