440642 - Password prompt appears in wrong window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Jerry Baker]

Firefox 3.0

I have a bookmarklet that launches a pop-up window to log in to a Web-based email site. When I launch the bookmarklet, the window opens and the page loads prompting me to log in. When I log in, the pop up asking me if I want Firefox to remember the password pops up in the other window and not the current window.

The bookmarklet is as follows:

javascript:open('http://www.gishpuppy.com/cgi-bin/loginXpress.py?title='+escape(document.title)+%20'&url='+escape(location.href),%20'_GishPop',%20'height=500,width=592,location=no,scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,resizable=no');_GishPop.focus()

This is by design; some sites popup login forms in a temporary window, which then closes when you log in... The remember-password bar is placed in the parent window or else there would be no way to save the login.

Can't you just wait until a window.close event to do that? This site does not operate that way and it's kind of annoying to have a password bar sitting around on my Gmail page every time I check my mail at another site.
