268464 - Secure website user/password is cached

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 266484

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Virtuo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I am accessing the outlook webmail using firefox. I opened the mail in a firefox
instance and logged in. Before closing the mail i launched another browser
window  from the desktop ( i am not using Ctrl + N or anything. I am launching
it using the short cut on desktop). Then i closed the outlook mail window. If i
again try to access the mail it is not prompting me for username/password. It
directly takes me in. But if i close all the windows and try to open the mail it
prompts me for the user/password. I reported this bug earlier in security
category and i received a mail from somebody saying its not a bug. But IT IS a
BUG. And i dont see the bug i submitted anymore.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch firefox and open a secure website (In my case it is Outlook web mail)
which prompts for User/password ( Basic auth). enter the user/password and login.
2. Launch another instance of the browser using the short cut or whatever.
3. close the first window ( in my case it is outllok web mail)
4. Now Try accessing the mail again. It doesnt prompt me for user/password. It
directly takes me in.

Actual Results:  
Does not prompt for User/Password

Expected Results:  
Must prompt for user/password

Works as expected in IE

Bugzilla has a search function where you could search, e.g. for the reporter.

Please don't file more than one bug report for the same issue. I mark this as
duplicate of your first report.
