Given a page with two password inputs, after saving a password for one of them any future logins with both of them overwrite the first password with the second, and the second is filled into the first box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page with two un-differentiated password fields
2. Log in with just the first field, save the password when prompted
3. Log in again with both fields
Actual Results:  
No password save prompt, second password automatically overwrites saved first password.

Expected Results:  
Prompt to save second password, or no prompt and no save.  Definitely not overwriting without prompting.

The password manager only supports saving 1 password for a login, so if the end  goal here is to have it fill both fields with different values, then this is a dupe of bug 222589 (WONTFIX).

The other two symtoms you describe are already fixed, and will be in Firefox 3.1 - bug 394611 and bug 327977. [You should update your browser anyway, Firefox 3.0.1 is old.]
