233926 - Ability to disable form autocomplete for username fields

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement)

Description

[aceface]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Firefox has the option to auto fill in passwords and also to fill in forms. I
have disabled the saved passwords feature for security but have enabled saved
form information. (cos it's useful!) What I don't like about form fill is that
it doesn't distinguish between normal fields and username fields (especially in
HTTPS websites). I don't like leaving my username in the open because it's like
giving half the key to a potential hacker in my view.

IE has a check box which allows you to disable filling in username and
passwords. I would like to request for a similar feature to enable form fill but
prevent Firefox from filling up username fields.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter logon website
2. Enter username and password
3.

Actual Results:  
On reentering the website, and typing my username. The formfill feature displays
my full username. 

Expected Results:  
Should there be an option to disable username formfill, no username would be
prompted.

This is covered by disabling form autofill and we don't intend to break it out
as a second option.
