Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

After upgrading to Firefox 3.6, I first went into nsloginmanager.js, and I commented out: 
//  if (element && element.hasAttribute("autocomplete") &&
      //      element.getAttribute("autocomplete").toLowerCase() == "off")
      //     return false;
Then, saved. Then, I checked password manager, I deleted entry for my bank of america account. restarted browser, nav'd to page, entered my passcode, and was prompted to save. So far so good. Restart browser. When I head to this page (sitekey.bankofamerica.com/sas/signonSetup.do), the input box is empty. But, if I hit RELOAD, the password appears. This is new to Firefox 3.6. Not sure why password isnt filling in when i first nav to this page. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.First, I go to https://www.bankofamerica.com/index.jsp, and I sign in (my acct# is stored by BOA in this case. 
2. Next page: https://sitekey.bankofamerica.com/sas/signonSetup.do. Passcode box is blank. 
3. I hit RELOAD. 
4. The passcode appears, and now, I can log in. Why did I have to hit reload? 
Actual Results:  
I can only get the password to fill in if I hit reload after navigating to the 
https://sitekey.bankofamerica.com/sas/signonSetup.do. With firefox 3.5, never had this problem. As soon as I arrived at https://sitekey.bankofamerica.com/sas/signonSetup.do, the passcode was filled in the box, and I could log in. Now, I have to hit reload to get the passcode to appear. It's a hiccup. 

Expected Results:  
As said above, with Firefox 3.5, after I'd 'customized' the autocomplete portion of nsloginmanager.js, I always was able to view my passwords on bank sites such as this with no hiccup. Now, something is causing me to have to hit reload after loading the page.
