Try a Router which requires an admin user ID and Password. You will be presented with the Pop-Up asking for the username and password .... once entered, the access is granted to the router.

Also ... Minefield opens a dialogue below the Links-Bar asking if it should 
[Remember] or [Never for this Site]

User pressing [Remember] and nothing happens. 
User pressing [Never ...] and that *does* happen ... that site address appears in the "exceptions" list.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Make sure this address is not previously in "Exceptions" to remembering PW
1. Type 4 octet numerical address of, for example, your router needing password
2. enter UID and PW at Pop_Up prompt presented
3. Try to select [Remember] at next FF prompt for storing passwords, or NOT
Actual Results:  
Unable to get the [Remember] to function
Able to get [Never for this site] to function

Expected Results:  
Minefield stores URL UID and password for subsequent re-use by operator

Can you please enable |signon.debug| and |javascript.options.showInConsole|, restart the browser, recreate your problem, and report what messages are logged to the Error Console (under the Tools menu)?

The log indicates the server is sending back a blank HTTP realm. This is currently required, so there should be a "Can't add a login without a httpRealm or formSubmitURL." error (in red) shown in the console. That doesn't seem to be in your output, but it should be so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Bug 396316 includes a fix for this, marking as blocking.
