Matt, can you think of any reason that passwords obtained via Sync aren't working correctly with the password manager?

Comment 2

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

This is a problem with how the Firefox Password Manager interacts with certain sites and not related to Sync. You can reproduce with:

STR:
1. Start Firefox with new Profile
2. Visit https://www.linkedin.com/ and log in.
3. Click remember credentials
4. Log out of Linked In.
5. Visit https://www.linkedin.com/

The problem is that the site isn't detecting when a valid password has been filled, so it's not enabling the button. Perhaps

I can't reproduce this bug on the new linkedin.com. Could QA take a look?
