259841 - Autoforms replaces contents of fields which should have data with autocomplete data.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 270558

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Josh Watson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

In Bugzilla (our local version), I sometimes manage users.

I used Mozilla Firefox to add a user (lets call them John).

Now whenever I load the users view, every users "Real Name" is replaced with the
John's Real Name, and their password is replaced with John's Password. I can't
edit users in Firefox any more, and have to use IE :(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a user to bugzilla
2. Maybe I hit save username /password
3. View a different users records

Actual Results:  
Every user you view has their user name and password shown as the added user's
username and password.

Expected Results:  
The software should recognise that these entries have been pre-filled out by the
page and not reload anything in their place. It should not reload some values
from the form, and some from the web.

Firefox has a different password manager than the Mozilla Browser

Yeah, this bug is related to one I reported. I really searched for dupes, but..
Sorry.

Maybe this should have been fixed by Bug 229762, so regression?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Too bad nobody realized what you were reporting, back in the day. Yes, this is
the part of bug 229762 that didn't get fixed right, but now that bug 270558 has
votes and a string of duplicates and most importantly an attached testcase, I
think it's best to dupe forward to it.
