477556 - HTML Log-in form auto populates wrong values

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[blair]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5

Browser fills HTML login form automatically with wrong values. If I sign in with the correct user name and password, then sign out, then sign in again, the browser does not remember the last value, it is populating the form with an older value instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.	Go to http://www.sustainlane.com 
2.	Click "sign up/log in" and try to log in with INVALID user name and password.
3.	Now log in again with VALID user name and password.
4.	Click "Sign out"
5.	Click "sign up/log in" again.
6.	The form contains the INVALID user name. This is not coming from the web server, it is inserted by the browser.

Actual Results:  
Actual: Older form value from unsuccessful login.

Expected Results:  
Expected: The form should contain the last form value or should be blank.

The website does not populate the fields in HTML and does not attempt to populate fields in javascript or any other way.

HTML of form:
<form method="post" action="j_security_check">
	<div class="signText">
		<label for="username">E-mail Address</label>
		<input name="j_username" id="username" maxlength="50" type="text">
	</div>
	<div class="signText">	
		<label for="password">Password</label>
		<input name="j_password" id="password" maxlength="12" type="password">
	</div>
	<div class="signCenter">
		<input src="/rev/402/img/buttons/signin.png" type="image">
	</div>
	<div class="signCenter">
		<a href="forgot_password.jsp">Forgot your password?</a>
	</div>
 </form>

I suspect firebug is the cause.

>I suspect firebug is the cause.
Then run Firefox without firebug / safemode ?
