When you are presented with an authentication login popup, you should be able to
enter your username, hit tab, enter your password, hit tab, then hit enter to
click the GO button. Instead, the third tab keystroke highlights the cancel button.

Reproducible: Always

WFM on Windows with http://www.squarefree.com/start/.  Perhaps this bug is
Linux-specific because the button order is different on Linux.

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.

The order I observed for Fx 1.5.0.3 (Firefox 1.5.0.3 ID:2006042618) on WinXP SP2 is: user name, password, password manager, ok, cancel. Appears a sensible choice. ==> WFM ?!

Aaron - your reported Firefox version(s) are too old a build to analyze bugs against now. The problem you are reporting may well have been fixed already.

Could you please download a recent version or nightly build from <http://www.mozilla.org/releases/nightly.html>, and then let us know if you still see this problem?

Many thanks, Cigno
