Details

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1353035 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a web application, i.e. a web-based password manager, in which the credentials form with autocomplete set to OFF on both username and password fields.
  2. Notice that the username and password fields are pre-filled, with a yellow background.
  3. Fill the other fields (i.e. SSH public key, URL etc.)
  4. Submit the form
  5. Username and password will be saved, even if we don't want to.
    This happens both with a new record creation and editing an existing record with blank credentials.

I think that Firefox should respect developer's choice to use autocomplete=off and/or give the possibility to choose to disable in the settings this feature.
