275524 - Master password dialog does not appear on Gmail login page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Bradley Chapman (not reading bugmail, still gone but not forever)]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041219 Firefox/1.0+
(daihard: P4/SSE2)

When a master password is in use and security.ask_for_password is set to zero,
loading the Gmail login page does not trigger the master password entry dialog.
The dialog only appears after a keystroke is made in one of the input fields on
the page.

This may be related to the Gmail login page's use of autocomplete=off for the
password input field.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set a master password
2. Load the Gmail login page

Expected Results:
The password dialog pops up and asks me to enter my master password.

Actual Results:
Zilch.

This was broken in Fx 1.0; I didn't use a master password before then.

This is the page loaded into the iframe on the Gmail login page. Loading it
directly does not trigger the master password dialog; a keystroke in one of the
fields is still needed.

I have security.ask_for_password = 0 and a master password set, but I can't
reproduce this on Mozilla/5.0 a trunk firefox build from a few days ago. Both
going to http://gmail.google.com/ and to http://tinyurl.com/6elae immediately
prompt me for a password.

Marking WFM.
