1061630 - Popup window to save the password when the input type is setting to text and the autocomplete is off

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1551730

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Xavier OTTOLINI]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

The form is used to save LDAP authentication parameters. So the user do not need to save in the login and password manager. That is why autocomplete is set to "off".
The form has three field :
- username text field
- hidden field (to disable autocomplete on Chrome browser).
- password field.
The username and the password fields have the autocomplete attribute set to "off".
There is a toggle button to enable to view password being entering.
When the user clicks on the toggle button, the type attribute is set to "text". 



Actual results:

We noticed with Firefox 31 that at this moment, a pop up window is pompting the user to save the password for the domain.


Expected results:

Normaly, it should not ask the user to save it because the attribute autocomplete is set to off.

Didn't mean to resolve this as the toggling to @type=text many need more investigation.
