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.

I have been the prey of this one that says Enter username and password for http://ad.doubleclick.net while using Firefox 12.0.  There is no guarantee of when it will occur.

Request reopening and investigation.

This bug has seen no (significant) action since January 2005. You may want to open one or more new bugs, probably for Toolkit::PasswordManager and/or SeaMonkey::Passwords&Permissions and/or (I don't know what for Firefox). Mention that it's no use to DUPLICATE your new bug(s) to this one, which has been RESOLVED EXPIRED in 2005 without solving the underlying problem.
