Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Justin Hanekom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

This error appeared after upgrading to 1.0.7 and continues with Beta 2.

Disabling Tools | Options | Privacy | Passwords | Remember Passwords resolves
the error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable Tools | Options | Privacy | Passwords | Remember Passwords
2.Attempt to login
3.

Actual Results:  
Attempts to access URL https://....'%%E

Removing the '%3E from the URL displays the correct page (and is the page that
was displayed before Firefox was upgraded to 1.0.7)


I obviously could not provide you with my login information, but believe this
may be related to other bug reports concerning logging into sites.  I didn't add
this as a comment to those reports because they tended to state they were using
Linux (I'm using XP), said Firefox crashed (I don't know if they are referring
to real abends or simply Error 400's), or some such.

Thank you!

%3E is an encoding of > (greater-than symbol).

I can't tell what the problem is without having a working login for this site. 
You might have to do some kind of logging to even see the HTTP redirect, html
code, or script that causes this problem.

This is working now, so far as I can tell without having a valid login. If this is still broken for the reporter, we'll need more information to reproduce and fix this.
