Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 233893

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[me890]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

In many dialogs the positions of the "negative" and "positive" buttons are
switched. This is not intuitional  for the user. A very important guideline of
software ergonomics is to accomplish the expectations of the user. So please
don't place the "Cancel" button on the left side of the request. :-)

A good example is the password dialog, I always thought I've forgotten my
password because it fails. The reasons was simply that the "Cancel" was on the
left side of the dialog and it was also the default button, why ever?!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select an URL with authentication

Actual Results:  
now the "Cancel" button is on the left side of the request.


Expected Results:  
the button should be on the right side of the dialog, like in EVERY other
program in this world. ;-)
