Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 259841

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Vasya Pupkin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

After Firefox 0.9.3 all versions of Firefox have this bug with password manager.
It replaces data in forms where it shouldn't. For example, I have a phpBB
powered forum, I used Password Manager to remember my password to forum. It's
ok. But when I try to edit some user via Admin Control Panel, Password Manager
REPLACES username and user's password to MY NAME AND MY PASSWORD! It shouldn't
do that. It should fill my username and password only in that form, where I have
remembered it, not in all places of the website. And not in that forms, where
fields have a value set. The best thing is if Password Manager will not fill
forms automatically AT ALL, like in Opera, for example.
