When I try to access a web site which has HTTP 401 error authorization Mozilla
Firefox successfully remembers any number of login/passwords. The problem is
that there's no way to choose which login/pass to use. Firefox always prefills
the last entered login/password pair.

Mozilla Browser From Mozilla Suite offers all logins/passwords right before 401
authorization appears. Mozilla Firefox doesn't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a 401 authorization site
2. Login by different login/passwords


Actual Results:  
I have the last pair of login/password being shown and no way to choose another
pair.
dupe of/related to bug 222653?
Summary: Firefox doesn't offer logins/passwords when using error 401 auth → Firefox only remembers most recent username/password pair for HTTP Auth (doesn't remember multiple passwords)
