Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 222367

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[lawrencefry03]

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

neither the form manager nor the password manager gives a prompt to store
password/username or form information for this website. This is also a general
problem with any of the citibank card web sites, or discover card website.

Password manager seems to broken for all but the simplest username/password form
websites.

Works in IE, doesn't work in Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.hotmail.com
2.enter your email account
3.enter your password
4. press signon
5. No password dialog popup (or if first time of session, no dialog for master
password)

Actual Results:  
not a thing

Expected Results:  
if the first time of session, the master password dialog should popup. If not,
the password store dialog should popup.

If you create an account for the bugreport service, for example, everything
works as noted above. It seems this feature only works on the _simplest_
services, and not on any service used by real people.
