279430 - Password manager does not fill in login/password until the page finishes loading on its own.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 221634

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Jef Poskanzer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041118 Firefox/1.0

If a page includes some element that takes a long time to load, perhaps an ad
image or iframe from a malfunctioning server, the login/password fields will not
get filled in until the load times out.  This can take minutes.  If you hit
Stop, the fields never get filled in.

Reproducible: Always




JavaScript has the same behavior - doesn't run until the page finishes loading
on its own - so I'm guessing this bug is just because the password manager is
implemented in JavaScript?  Whatever the reason, it's very annoying.
