User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2

When trying to save a proxy username with a domain name, i.e. containing a backslash, Firefox strips the domain from the user name (up to the backslash)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a proxy username containing a backslash in it (xxx\yyy)
2. Log on the proxy
3. Ask Firefox to save the password
Actual Results:  
Only the last part, from the backslash, is saved (yyy)

Expected Results:  
It should save the full username, xxx\yyy

I haven't tested whether web forms' passwords are impacted too

I have just tested, bug is only present with proxy passwords, i.e. starting with "moz-proxy:" in the password manager.
