User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Form completion is matched case insensitively, which is fine. However, if the
user inputs a string that doesn't match case sensitively, the entry that is
persisted should be overwritten with the new case. This is particularly a
problem when using Bugzilla, the latest versions of which require case sensitive
matches when entering a username.

For example, if I type "some_guy@hisaddress.com" in a form and then later enter
"Some_Guy@hisaddress.com", the persisted string "some_guy..." should be replaced
with the new one ("Some_Guy...").

Basically, if I correct myself by changing the case of a form entry, Firefox
should notice this.
