Clicking "Login" at http://searchrequests.weblogs.com/member/login doesn't submit the form. I think this is a password manager problem because I see an empty login to searchrequests.weblogs.com in the password manager. If I remove the empty login, it reappears when I go back into password manager. (I was able to remove another login, but that didn't fix the original problem of not being able to submit the form.) I am *unable* to reproduce using a new profile. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031008 Firebird/0.7+ (aebrahim) This bug goes away if I switch to 08/11 or 08/16 builds.
Adding [pwd-mngr] to summary of Password Manager bugs to facilitate querying. Sorry for the bugspam. Jesse: is this really a legit bug, since you can't reproduce it with a new profile?

I think it's a legit bug because it's strange behavior even given that it's profile corruption. But if you think all bugs that only happen with corrupt profiles are invalid, I won't argue with you.

*** Bug 223254 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I marked my bug #223254 as a dupe of this becuase this bug was filed earlier. There are a few more details of the problem in that bug, however.
*** Bug 226702 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can reproduce this with my current profile. I haven't tried creating a new profile yet. Using 0.8 branch build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031218 Firebird/0.7+
BTW, the site I used was http://www.kingsofchaos.com/. Creating a new profile did indeed fix the problem.
I had the same problem after using Firebird 0.8 trunk. Creating a new profile did fix the problem. What is strange is that after copying the old signons.txt to the new profile loggin in to several sites (ebay and some phpws driven sites) didn't work.
I can reproduce this bug while logging in to the admin pages for mail.mozilla.org mailing lists with an existing profile. Logging in works fine, but when I try to change a list password using the form on the list's admin page, the form won't submit. Deleting all my mail.mozilla.org saved passwords doesn't work; at least one always reappears if I close and then reopen the Saved Passwords dialog box.
Removing the following entry from signons.txt fixed the problem: http://mail.mozilla.org roster-email *roster-pw .
I had the same problem with the Firefox 0.8 (winXP) on www.acfmovies.com and I deleted http://www.acfmovies.com username *password . from this file and it works now.
Did bryner's checkin for bug 231042 fix this bug?
(In reply to comment #12) > Did bryner's checkin for bug 231042 fix this bug? This fix apparently breaks Bug 226132.
*** Bug 230994 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As far as I can tell this was fixed by the checkin for bug 231042. If anyone still sees this please reopen this bug. Other breakages caused by this fix should be reported to relevant existing bugs or to a new bug.

I'm still seeing this problem with a recent nightly. Some sites that I have passwords saved for still work, but I can't type a username/password into most forms and have submit work. If I go to 'View saved passwords', both tabs have no entries, though there are quite a few entries in my signons.txt file. Weirdly enough, I can sign into Bugzilla :) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040228 Firefox/0.8.0+

Works fine for me now anyway!
