306298 - Password manager fills different pages of the same website regardless of the URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 270558

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Denis Rochat]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

For this website "mics", there is a login & password to access the
administration part of the website. Administration section permits to edit MICS
members parameters. Login & password are member parameters among others. Firefox
fills member login & password with the login & password that was used to log
into the website on the login page. The login page is of course not the same
page as the page to edit member parameters (part of URL differs), but Firefox
fills both regardless of the URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a simple website with 2 pages having some common fields.
2.Fill one page and ask Firefox to remember filled information.
3.Go to the other page, Firefox will automatically fill the fields having the
same names on both pages.



Expected Results:  
Firefox should NOT fill fields having the same name on another page of the same
website.
