492657 - Cant' clear auto Fill, it will creep back at you (username / password)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4

Very Annoying bug, i can't clear out the auto filled forms like in phpbb3 ACP as soon I clear out the entry and click out it will re-fill again 

this is shown using "Master Password" function so don't know if it happens if there is no master password and only way not to have it to not login through master password so the auto fill for username/password wouldn't fill in

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login Master Password
2. go to some type of form with username and password form like in phpbb3 ACP
3. try to clear out the entry from the form
Actual Results:  
username and password get refilled which is not needed in some forms and actually hinders functionality like editing a profile 

Expected Results:  
once to clear out to stay cleared out like in FF 3.0.x

I'm assuming this is an added feature if it is so then please don't do it automatically instead the function should be reserved in a menu like right click on the page 

This bug sits between minor to nomral, i didn't say minor because the workaround might be only available for users who uses "Master Password"

thanks :) will be waiting for beta5

yep i tried Safe Mode and i got same exact symptoms I clear out the data then click somewhere it pops back in! if you run phpbb3 forums try administrate a user! (this also happened on medscape so it's not just phpbb3)

cheers
