Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Beth Segal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

I get the following prompt when I select "remember" for remembering a password on a website:

psm internal fips-140-1 cryptogr

Then Firefox asks for a password which I do not have.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to website (yahoo mail)
2. When the prompt comes up, "Do you want the computer to remember this password"
3. I select "remember"
Actual Results:  
The following prompt comes up and I cannot access the website at all

psm internal fips-140-1 cryptogr

Asks for non-existent password

Please note that FIPS is turned OFF in my preferences but seems to automatically turn back on when I select "remember."

Expected Results:  
The software should simply remember the password and user name instead of giving me this prompt when I have FIPS turned off in preferences.

Can you go to the "About Mozilla Firefox" window and copy the version string?  It will look something like this:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 GTB6
