443188 - Same saved password applied in every password field of the domain

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 263387

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

When you have a saved password for a domain, in domains with multiple protected zones, Firefox 3 (didn't happen with FF2) automatically fills every password field with the saved password.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a domain with multiple (in different pages) forms with a password field (no need for the password field to have the same name or id)
2. Save the password of one of your form with the password manager
3. Go to the other form. (Then Firefox fills the password field with the other form's password)
Actual Results:  
Firefox fills the password field with the other form's password

Expected Results:  
Remember what page in the domain the password was for and not try and write in every password field in the domain.

Hmm. That's pretty much it. I can provide a test bed if needed. Let me know.

Please search before filing bugs, used keywords "password domain"

Firefox v3.0.3 experiences that problem. Still not solved, so it shouldn't be marked as a duplicate that quickly.

I'm developing a web application that uses a password field (name="j_password")
and inside the restricted zone, users can update information of their profiles.
There are three fields dealing with passwords ("password_old", "password_new" and "password") in order to verify the authenticity of the old one, and the equality of the new one... AND firefox 3.0.3 DOES fill the "password_old" with the password taken in "j_password". 

That's something that has to be solved... please
