185770 - passwords in forms not autofilled when autocomplete="off" in form tag

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124065

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

I believe it started around 1.2, but websites whose login page specifies
<form ... autocomplete="off" ... > for the login form do not capture
passwords (though if you already have one in the password manager
it will still fill it in.

  Assuming that this is indeed intended behavior, can we please have
a workaround (really, almost every banking/finance site has started
doing this, and I'd prefer to decide if I want PSM to keep a password
or not.

  If this is a feature request, please relabel (and my apologies)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to a website such as the sample one above
2. type in a username/password
3. note that there is no offer to remember your password

Actual Results:  
username/password form was not remembered

Expected Results:  
offered to remember the values (or have a setting to override
the autocomplete=off field)

according to bug 124065 there is a workaround. No UI, but you can add this pref
to prefs.js

user_pref("wallet.crypto.autocompleteoverride", true);
