Steps to reproduce:

Actual results:

user/pass not saved

Expected results:

Chrome's behaviour seems logical to me

Can you check if the password field is a descendant of a <form>? If so, this is yet another bug depending on bug 1287202. I don't have an account so can't even get to that page it seems.

Thanks Kai! From your video I could see that the answer is yes. In other words I was asking if the <input> was inside of a <form>.

Can you please confirm that this works with tomorrow's Firefox Nightly version now that bug 1287202 is fixed? https://nightly.mozilla.org/

Thanks

It works, but only after explicitly consenting to save password. And the save password confirmation dialog just flashes up.

I just want it to remember passwords by default.

Thank you!

p.s. not sure how to resolve this bug, I guess only you have permission to do so?

That's how the Firefox Password Manager works, you have to choose to Save passwords, they don't save silently.

And the save password confirmation dialog just flashes up.

Are you saying it closed automatically without your interaction or was it that it closed when you clicked on something else?

I just want it to remember passwords by default.

OK, that's not feedback I have heard from others before but I'll keep it in mind. Often users want to be in control of whether traces are left on their computer of sites they login to. Thanks for confirming the login is now saved btw.

p.s. not sure how to resolve this bug, I guess only you have permission to do so?

I believe you should see the option to resolve it as fixed since you filed it but since there are different themes and permissions of Bugzilla, I don't really know what you see.

I have just tried with Firefox 68.12.0esr and 78.2.0esr on AWS console login page (login as IAM user, where are 3 input fields) and Firefox doesn't offer to save password

Same, with v 83.0 / build 20201112153044 on ubuntu. Do we need to re-open this bug or create a new one?

Can't speak for AndriyF, but I do not get a Save Password popup. I even tried with throttling enabled, thinking that could give the popup time to show, but no luck.
