Firefox refuses to enter passwords if the username field is readOnly.  I understand not filling forms if the password field is disabled or readOnly.  I think a decent approach would be to check if the username field is readOnly.  If it is readOnly, then check to see if it has a pre-filled value.  If it is, and it matches a username already in our database, then the appropriate password can be filled in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.strudel-hound.com/test.php?save=true
2. Enter any password, and accept Firefox's option to save the password
3. Visit http://www.strudel-hound.com/test.php
Actual Results:  
No password filled in.

Expected Results:  
Password filled in.

I set up that test page as just that, a test page.  It will print out whatever you type in the password field when you click submit, so don't enter real passwords.
