Data are not prefilled, though I have only 1 saved "password" for the site.
I need to type in the first letter of the id to get the 1-item list to choose from.

At least, this regresses the user experience with SeaMonkey after bug 390025.

These sites fill in default values for the username and password fields. The password manager  will only fill in a login if the username matches what's already there.

There isn't a good way to handle this specific case, where the pre-filled values are actually just user cues to enter a user/pass in the field.
