6. I will be asked to log in again to "my msn"

This is a dupe of bug 222367. The relevant code from http://my.msn.com.

<td><input type="text" name="login" id="loginid" class="PPRField" tabindex="1"
maxlength="129" size="25" value="<Type your e-mail address>" autocomplete="OFF"
onClick="SelText();"></td>

<td><input type="password" name="passwd" maxlength="16" class="PPRField"
size="25" tabindex="2" autocomplete="OFF"></td>

For both the email address and the password autocomplete is set to OFF thus
Firefox will not remember the email address or the password.
