User Story

There are multiple reasons why we bail from auto-fill in _fillForm and we log many of them to the Browser Console. Record each reason in it's own bucket and making some more fine-grained will help track improvements to detection heuristics.

Examples:
* "Password not filled. None of the stored logins match the username already present." may be reduced when our username field heuristics improve.
* "Multiple logins for form, so not filling any." may be reduced when we improve our field detection heuristics as we will have less users having 2 logins for a site with different usernames (e.g. one email, one actual username) but with the same password.

We should leave room in the histogram to add more reasons in the future.

I manually tested all but 1 and 10. 1 would require scripting to remove the password field after DOMFormHasPassword which seems unlikely and 10 shouldn't happen unless we forget to add a didntFillReason in the future.

Hot shit, :MattN. I'm eager to see the results.

Seems like the histogram fetch should just go into recordAutofillResult().

::: toolkit/components/passwordmgr/LoginManagerContent.jsm
(Diff revision 1)
> +      recordAutofillResult(AUTOFILL_RESULT.NO_PASSWORD_FIELD);

Let's add a log() here, just so our telemetry and console output help explain the same things. (There wasn't previously, because pre-DOMFormHasPassword fillForm() was called all the time on passwordless forms, now this basically should't ever happen.)

::: toolkit/components/passwordmgr/LoginManagerContent.jsm
(Diff revision 1)
> +        recordAutofillResult(AUTOFILL_RESULT.NO_SAVED_LOGINS);

Maybe worth a comment here that we're not log()ing, because this is the exceptionally common case of a login form without a saved login?

Also, we could probably just move this check up to the top of the function... If _fillForm() is called with foundLogins.length == 0, looks like we can just safely bail immediately without doing anything.

This would be good to do here, since otherwise the data will be a little skewed -- we'll be reporting NO_PASSWORD_FIELD and PASSWORD_DISABLED_READONLY for pages where the user doesn't even have a login to fill.

::: toolkit/components/passwordmgr/LoginManagerContent.jsm
(Diff revision 1)
> +      recordAutofillResult(AUTOFILL_RESULT.EXISTING_PASSWORD);

Maybe add a log() here too or in notifyFoundLogins()... Although now that I'm looking at this, I kinda think we should just kill notifyFoundLogins (in a separate bug). So maybe not bother with extra logging here.

[Feature/regressing bug #]: Improvements to password manager in 2015 - Bug 1121127
[User impact if declined]: Possibly less ideal decisions based on lack of data.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Existing password manager tests pass
[Risks and why]: Low risk since it's new code only run during the telemetry gathering phase.
