334237 - Autocomplete overrides values given in html-source in input-tag

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 270558

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Jammni]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

Make a form with a normal input-tag and a input-tag with password type.
Fill out the fields and save the information when firefox asks you to do so.
If in the source a value attribute is specified, firefox overrides these values with the auto-complete values.
But it shall not override these values.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a form with input-tag and input-tag with password type.
2. Specify the value attribute for at least one of the tags.
3. Fill out the form and submit it.
4. Reload the page - autocomplete overrides the values given from source.
Actual Results:  
Firefox overrides the values given in the source with the autocomplete values.

Expected Results:  
Firefox shouldn't override the source-values. Autocomplete should only apply to form-elements, that have no value (or perhaps an empty value). The user has at all time the possibility to autocomplete the fields with a double click on the input-field.

Should be fixed in Firefox 2.0
