User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

Whenever Firefox 3.03 attempts to fill in a password it does so properly at first trial.  When a further fill in (no matter whether it's the same page again or another) occurs, nothing is filled in or given as a choice.
When I go the password list (Tools->Options->Saved passwords) this list is shown though only partially the first time, but the second time it is empty.

I did resave signons3.txt (and signons2.txt) as UTF-8 several times, but this doesn't change anything.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call list of saved passwords.
2. Call list of saved passwords again.

Actual Results:  
After 1. a partial list, after 2. an empty list.

Expected Results:  
Complete list both times.

Error occurs since upgrade to 3.03 (in German).

PS: I tried to search similar bugs, yet it seems that either this has not yet been reported or my keywords were bad.

Exactly the same behavior here. Firefox 3.0.3 German.

This also occurs for me. (English)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

Tried with "safe-mode": still occurs.
