Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58724

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Martin Hristoforov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 StumbleUpon/1.9992
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 StumbleUpon/1.9992

On any page where auto complete is on, and it needs to put my password for
instance, the browser would wait until the whole page (including images, and
flash movies, or even whole movies) before the auto complete engages. It should
engage as soon as the text field has been rendered since you know all the info
needed by that point.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create account on www.myspace.com
2.On main page of www.myspace.com, log in and choose auto-complete to remember
your password.
3.Close the browser, and hit www.myspace.com again. 
Actual Results:  
Some of the content on that page takes a while to arrive (different servers) but
the auto-complete waits for the page to completly load.

Expected Results:  
Load the saved information for the field as soon as it is rendered.

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.
