When i enter a password, firefox then gives me a prompt however the prompt is
empty and contains no text.
It contains the options "yes" "  " "no"

Should ask do you want to save this password and the middle button should not be
blank.
Problem occours with any theme including winstripe

example is mozillazine
2. enter your login and password then click sign in
3.

Actual Results:  
Empty prompt, contains no text

Expected Results:  
should have contained text, and the middle button should not be blank, and the
message box should have a title

Also works on current trunk build.  Two questions for the reporter:

1)Did you install Firefox 0.9 on top of an old installation?  If so, try a clean
installation.
2)Can you try a new profile and see if the problem is still there?

It was a new install, never been on the system before, so therefore new profile

I have this bug too, but only after upgrading from 0.9 to 1.0PR;  mine shows
up on an up-to-date Fedora Core 2 box, running Gnome as my desktop.

I cannot remember how i resolved this, i believe i just downloaded a new
nightly, and it had fixed it. I no longer have this problem.
I would suggest you just try to reinstall, you may even need to download it
again, or better yet download a nightly.

I also have this happen on a Mandrake 10 box, FirefoxPR1.0. My install was a
clean mdk rpm after removing the earlier rpm but I don't believe that the
earlier rpm had been used (or therefore created a profile). It is possible that
it had. Just thought I would confirm another sighting :).

I get the same problem on a clean LFS install. As root, a dialogue appears
asking whether I want it to remember the password. Whatever I click, I get
another dialogue with no text (I have no idea what it's supposed to say) and Yes
and No buttons, as well as a third (never ask again, I think) button with no text.

As an unprived user, I get only the second dialogue. With the (month old) trunk
build on my other LFS computer, I get the "asks me twice" problem (bug #249940),
but both times text is shown.

I confirm that behaviour. my firefocx shows such dialog, with no text nor title,
'i' icon, two empty buttons and one 'OK' button.
  layout of the buttons: [  ]          [   ] [ OK ]

version: 0.10.1
compiled with such flags:

I see this on Firefox 1.0 on NetBSD 2.0, compiled from source.  This has been
reported by others on NetBSD:

I've tried re-installing from scratch, having removed my ~/.mozilla/firefox
directory, to no effect.

[William Bumgarner [:zsinj]]

This bug was last touched before 1.0.4. Is it still reproducable?
Try the latest branch build (1.0.5): http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Try the latest nightly trunk build (v1.0+): http://www.mozilla.org/developer
(Reviving old UNCONFs)

[Alejandro Cámara Iglesias]

I'v tried version 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 with these configuration flags:

  --prefix=/usr
  --with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.{4,5}
  --with-user-appdir=.firefox 
  --with-system-zlib 
  --with-system-png 
  --enable-application=browser 
  --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 
  --enable-extensions=all,-typeaheadfind 
  --enable-crypto 
  --enable-xtf 
  --enable-xinerama 
  --enable-optimize 
  --enable-reorder 
  --enable-strip 
  --enable-cpp-rtti 
  --enable-single-profile 
  --disable-freetype2 
  --disable-accessibility 
  --disable-debug 
  --disable-tests 
  --disable-logging 
  --disable-pedantic 
  --disable-installer 
  --disable-mailnews 
  --disable-ldap 
  --disable-composer 
  --disable-profilesharing 
  --with-system-jpeg

each one with new profile (1.0.4 was the first installation on this computer and
for 1.0.5 i removed ~/.mozilla and ~/.firefox) and i got the same problem on both.

  When entering a password to identificate myself on a site and the password
manager appears, it shows first as it should be (with title and message, and
right descriptive names on buttons) but right after that, it shows again the
same dialog box (without putting again the password, just immediately after you
ansewered the first dialog) but this time with title "unammed", without text
message and with buttons [   ]   [No] [Yes].

  I've also noticed that once I've stored a password, if I try to log in again
in the same site and change the password that automatically puts firefox on the
form, it shows again the password manager dialog box without text and title. If
you answer No then a warning dialog box appears without text, only a Ok button.
Then it doesn't appear that dialog box again when you try to change the password
that automatically puts firefox on the form (the same that worked before).
