Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set wallet.crypto.autocomplete to TRUE 2. Visit website where <FORM> tag has attribute AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF" 3. Actual Results: Password Manager will not fill in the FORM fields. Expected Results: Password Manager should fill in the FORM fields as it does for other sites where there is no AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF"
Are you using a master password to encypt the stored password? Without that, overriding autocomple=off won't work.
Is this related to this article: http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2003/form-autocompletion/ Btw, that pref setting can be found at: Menu/Edit/Preferences/Privacy & Security/Passwords [ ] Use encryption when storing sensitive data
Yes, I am using encryption. When I invoke Password Manager, it prompts me for my encryption password. When PM does work on AUTOCOMPLETE it also prompts me for my password.
I just received a notice that this bug has been reinstated after having been fixed. I am using Mozilla 1.6 and the override now works on websites where it didn't work before, such as yahoo.com where "autocomplete=off". I have wallet.crypto.autocompleteoverride = true. Why reinstate the bug if it was fixed in the latest release of Mozilla?
NO, autocomplete still doesn't work in mozilla 1.7a. It only works AFTER you've stored a password. Simply remove your Yahoo password, restart mozilla and see for yourself. Do you have third party addons like MultiZilla installed because this has never been a problem with MultiZilla. Maybe you used a bookmarklet to make it work but forgot about it?

Isn't that the way it is supposed to work? It didn't work that way before the bug was fixed recently. PM would fail to ask if you wanted to save the information. >Simply remove your Yahoo password, restart mozilla and see for yourself. OK, I removed the Yahoo password, restarted Mozilla and tried to login again. Autocomplete did not fill anything in because there was nothing available in PM. So I filled it in manually and PM prompted me to save the information, which I did. I logged out and back in with autocomplete functioning properly. > Do you have third party addons like MultiZilla installed because this has >never been a problem with MultiZilla. I am not using any third party addons. This is Mozilla 1.6 straight out of the shrinkwrap. >Maybe you used a bookmarklet to make it work but forgot about it? I am not using a bookmark for these tests.
Hmmm, interesting. It never prompts me to store my passwords. I installed mozilla 1.6 but still no luck. I even used a new profile. I am using WinXP, but that should be ok. So why does it work for you and not for me. One thing, I disabled XUL.mfl, that might be causing trouble. "It didn't work that way before the bug was fixed recently. PM would fail to ask if you wanted to save the information." When was this fixed? I don't see a single comment about it being fixed in this bug report, so what bug was it? Where's the patch? Who told you that this bug was fixed?

That's how it used to behave with 1.5 before the bug fix. > I am using WinXP, but that should be ok. I am using Win2K/SP4 >So why does it work for you and not for me. I'm just lucky :-) > When was this fixed? I don't see a single comment about it being fixed in this > bug report, so what bug was it? Where's the patch? Who told you that this bug > was fixed? I got an email which I assumed was telling me it was fixed. So I upgraded to Mozilla 1.6 and it worked. I was having problems with Bank of America but now PM works for it.
the autocompleteoverride pref never affected the replay of data--if we have form data we will replay it. The pref controls whether we honor the form's autocomplete=off setting for data *capture*. As far as I can tell this is working.

"The pref controls whether we honor the form's autocomplete=off setting for data *capture*." So why isn't it capturing my username/password on Yahoo?

Please be very specific about what does not work, i.e. steps to reproduce, the exact site, is it all sites or just some, etc. Also try with a new profile to rule out profile problems.

Sorry, I can't try to reproduce this bug now, because we're moving 3500 miles today. I hope to be able to test this next week after we've setup a new SAT link.

I notice that the status has been changed to RESOLVED. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just stumbled on a website where PM doesn't work. https://s3abaca.ssa.gov/pro/isba3/irib.cgi?WFORM=Q After entering 9 digits, then 8 digits, and clicking on the "Next Page" button, PM should prompt you to save the login information, but it doesn't. You can save the info in Form Manager. Does having it in FM prevent PM from working? It shouldn't.
The SSA form does not contain the autocomplete="OFF" attribute so a preference to override that attribute should not be expected to make any difference; in other words it can't possibly be this bug. The "Password Manager" only works on forms that have an actual password field, the SSA page you linked to does not.
