237140 - http://www.example.com and http://example.com should (optionally) have the same passwords pre-filled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 92966

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, enhancement)

Description

[Richard Neill]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

1) I visit http://www.example.com and login with username/password pair.
   I tell mozilla to remember the password.

2) If I return later to this site, everything is fine.

3) BUT, if I use just http://example.com (without the www), then mozilla doesn't
   know that it already has a stored password/username. In *most* cases, I think 
   it ought to try the password it has stored for http://www.example.com

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

In most cases, http://foo.com is just a shortcut for http://www.foo.com.
Websites often work with or without the www. Although this isn't always the
case. Therefore, Mozilla's current behaviour isn't actually wrong. However, it
could possibly be more intelligent. (So, this is probably an RFE, not a bug)
