Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. check that the function "save form information" is enabled (tools > options >
privacy > safes form information)
2. type into a "normal" text-field und submit the form
3. make the text-field readonly
4. now make a double click on the readonly text-field
5. select your input (from step 2)
6. now the readonly field is changed...

If the input-field is disabled, you can NOT do this. I think it is wrong that
you can so change a text.

difference between disabled und readonly fields:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.12

disabled
    * Disabled controls do not receive focus.
    * Disabled controls are skipped in tabbing navigation.
    * Disabled controls cannot be successful.

readonly
    * Read-only elements receive focus but cannot be modified by the user.
    * Read-only elements are included in tabbing navigation.
    * Read-only elements may be successful.
