Description

[Kemcy BEST]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090330 Minefield/3.6a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090330 Minefield/3.6a1pre

After entering username and password on imageshack.us login dialog and hit 'login', Firefox does not prompt to save password. It's probably because the Login button isn't a form submit button, but rather an image with some JS running onClick().

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open http://imageshack.us, create an account and click 'login' in the upper-right corner
2. A pseudo-popup dialog will appear asking for username/password as in image below

3. Enter username/password, hit 'login'


Actual Results:  
Firefox does not prompt to save username/password as it normally does for other sites, e.g., Gmail.

Expected Results:  
Firefox prompts to save username/password

Reporter -> Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest version of Firefox 3.6.13? Does the issue occur with the latest nightly? http://nightly.mozilla.org/

I thought this bug was for the trunk builds, since it's now for the 3.6 branch, can someone direct me to the 4.0 branch bug please?
