Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 270558

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Sean Butler-Lee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

On web pages using the phpBB forum system, I log in and allow Firefox to
remember my password. If I then visit the admin panel, enter User Management and
bring up a user's profile, Firefox overwrites their username with the one it
remembered from me logging in, and fills in the 'New password' field with my
password.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to a phpBB forum where you have admin privileges, allow Firefox to
save your password
2. Visit the Admin Panel, go to User Management
3. Enter a valid username and Submit

Actual Results:  
The username field of the user I edited was overwritten with mine, and the New
Password field was filled with my password.

Expected Results:  
No autofill on this form.
