Description

[Victor Bobier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031002 Firebird/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031002 Firebird/0.7+

User Name works, But password does not show up, I have to type password in
everytime I login. This happens on all websites that use a password, including
those that only ask for a password, Like http://photo.starblvd.net/ or
http://www.ebay.com/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://photo.starblvd.net/ or http://www.ebay.com/
2. make account on http://photo.starblvd.net/ or http://www.ebay.com/
3. log off
4. login

Actual Results:  
User name will be where It is supposed to be, But password has to be entered
manually. Sites with user name already entered have black space where password
is supposed to be entered.

Expected Results:  
Password Manager should enter password and End User should not have to type It
in regardless of the website.

is supposed to be entered.

Should read:

Just to confirm that this is the same behaviour I'm seeing, it only occurs when
the website caches your username somehow (if you clear your cookies, for
instance, then it will work as expected once, then go back to working incorrectly)

Additionally, if the username is filled in correctly automatically and you click
on the username field, then elsewhere, does the password fill itself in?

Changing OS to All. The same problem occurs on Linux at site www.linuxmail.org.

Also confirmed that the same behavior described in comment #3 applies to Linux.

In my case after deleting a websites, username and password line out of my firefox password manager it was not possible anymore to add this website with a new username and password in my p-manager. I tried to use a new profile, restarting in safe-mode and updating from 2.0.0.2 towards 2.0.0.3. Nothing helped to solve this problem.

This bug mentions Firefox so switching components.

This code has all been rewritten in the 5 years since this was filed. Reopen if it's still reproducible with a modern Firefox build.
