While working on form fill I noticed that the login manager does not always fill in the username field.  The reason is because it only considers input types of type="text" right now.  But it should accept other input types too. 

This fix (attaching shortly) is similar to existing code already used on desktop firefox here:

looks pretty solid, (the f+ not r+ is more a reflection on me than you) and I think the whitelist approach is the way to go, however:

- There is no test with this. I feel like this is something we could have caught with an automated test easily. I would be fine with a) a test b) a follow up bug to write a test c) a reason why we are unable to write a test

- Optionally, if you have it, it would be nice to list some sites other than gmail, STRs, or anything else that might help qa. 

- I don't think I know this code well enough to qualify as a reviewer of it. So, I'm going to find you someone else to do a driveby, and if it looks good to them, then you can either take their r+ or morph my f+ into an r+. 


question: the msg lists timA as the reviewer. Did you mean to have him review the patch as well?

Thanks Ally, I'll post a followup for a test.
I was originally going to put this login manager patch for review by TimA but I couldn't get his name to come up in autocomplete so I picked you!!! Lucky! :P

For step to reproduce, you can just have an <input type="email"> for a form with a password after it.  In that case the username will not be autofilled because it can't find the username field because it is not <input type="text">

I think that ((element instanceof HTMLInputElement && element.mozIsTextField(true)) is a better way to write this, unless there's some reason I'm not seeing that desktop Firefox did it the other way.

Seconding ally's request for a test.

Test bug is here: bug 837295.  I'll work on those tests Monday or possibly over the weekend.

Patch v1.

Okay, I see the mozIsTextField option was debated on desktop, and more-or-less concluded with bug 600551 comment 15.  Let's just copy desktop.
