290220 - Changing non-password information in Bugzilla causes Firefox to want to change stored password

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

This page looks wrong in Mozilla. Other browsers display it correctly. You suck!
 (Thanks, forced description)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Bugzilla "Edit: Prefs" page.
2. Fill in your pass as it's required to change anything.
3. Edit your display name.
4. Hit Confirm
5. Notice it wants to know if you're changing the password (if you have multiple
logins, I changed my email once).

Actual Results:  
Bugzilla saved a blank pass for my pass (I just checked pass manager!)

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't have done that!  (I probably should have clicked cancel, cest la
vie (sp?) )

My old email's got a blank pass next to it as well.  I believe this was because
I've done this once before, long ago.

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

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.
