accounts.firefox.com/settings/delete_password shows also your password pre-filled

This content is provided by fxa-content-server so I raised it as an issue over in that repo on github:

Is this even a bug?  In general, we want to support password managers (including our own!) across the web.

In any case, I'd prefer to have the fxa-content-server do whatever it thinks is correct, and not special case Fennec's handling.  That's what we did before: we left Fennec (and Desktop) offer to save the password.

I have the password manager disabled and am unable to reproduce the behavior mentioned here against either accounts.firefox.com or the local development environment. When I use a fresh profile with the password manager enabled, the "old password" is pre-filled. As :nalexander mentions, I believe this is the expected behavior with the password manager enabled.

:rfk what do you think?

Agreed, let's not fight the password-manager on this one.
