249034 - Addresses that contain username/password @host should be color coded

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 122445

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[S^3]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040313
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040313

When an address contains a username:password@host,
the username and passwords should be in a different
color to make it stand out that they are not
the host.  This should help against spoofing attacks.
This would be a handy option to have and should
probably be on by default.
This is similar to other syntax highlighting schemes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put in address with user:pass
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
URL is one color

Expected Results:  
Part before @ should be a different
color to make it stand out.
