221674 - Password forms should be prefilled when they are just displayed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58724

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

Many web pages that contain password forms are unfortunately crowded with lots
of more text and multimedia elements (images, Flash movies aso.) It was not
until I had to change to 56k dial-in a few weeks ago when I recognized that
Navigator prefills the password form with the information stored previously only
when the page is loaded completely.

For every second online means a (Euro) cent to pay (which is unnecessary here
because I'm not interested in the rest of the page in the first place), it would
be definitely a Good Thing[tm] if Navigator prefills the form when it is just
displayed, so one can click the submit button without waiting for the rest of
the page to download.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
With small bandwidth available, go to a page that contains a password form and
additional elements with larger download size.
Actual Results:  
The password form is prefilled when the page with all elements is loaded
completely, even if the form is displayed first.

Expected Results:  
Prefill the password form when it is just displayed.

What's the problem? This bug is in fact a duplicate of the old bug 58724 (just
read it), so it is marked VERI DUPL. Sorry for the dupe.
