279296 - URL in navigation toolbar does not include login/password if a link with login/password was clicked

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[tevion48x]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If I klick on a link in mIRC like this one:

http://adultlogin:[e-mail]/members

The site is opened. But the URL in the navigation bar does only show
http://www.adultsite.com/members

It does not show login/pass information. So the link can't be bookmarked
properly for example. And I cannot copy it into Offline Explorer because it does
not contain login/pass.

This must be a preference where I can turn off this "security" feature. Does
anyone know where?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to EFFnet with mIRC
2. Go to a password channel
3. Click a link like http://adultlogin:[e-mail]/members

Actual Results:  
URL in navigation bar shows simply: http://www.adultsite.com/members

Expected Results:  
URL in navigation bar must show:
http://adultlogin:[e-mail]/members

The change to hide the username/password in the address bar was made in bug 157354.

Not displaying the password is something that is a no-brainer to every
experienced computer user.
But why hiding the username ?

ftp://foo.com and ftp://[e-mail] are two differetn URLs, pointing to two
different resources.

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.
