224664 - Password Manager does not offer to save password at my.yahoo.com

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 93776

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Roy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

When I log into my.yahoo.com, Password Manager does not pop up and offer to save
the info. In fact it shows no sign of life. When I go back to the page, it does
not fill in the info. And there is no entry for my.yahoo.com in the Saved
Passwords tab of the Password Manager. It works fine at other sites: offers to
save login info, then fills it in correctly when I go back. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to my.yahoo.com
2. Log in with user name and password

Actual Results:  
I logged into the site just fine, but Password Manager did nothing.

Expected Results:  
Password Manager should have offered to save my login info, then saved it if I
clicked Yes (which I would), then entered the login info next time I went to
that login page.

I have used only the default theme.
I don't even have any extensions loaded.
Netscape 7 (which I was using until I switched to Firebird a couple of days ago)
worked as expected to log me into my.yahoo.com.
I still like Firebird better. It's so nimble and quick! Thank you!

The login form has the attribute "autocomplete=off".  This, by design, is
supposed to prevent Password Manager from storing info.  Not a bug.
