User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3 When a website provides initial values for login credentials seamonkey won't fill in values stored in password manager until you start typing in the username field. This is wrong, password manager should always override initial values provided by the website without requiring user action as in vast majority of cases they are useless defaults. Even in the obscure cases when the website is smart enough to prefill login credentials from cookies or some other local storage password manager still should be trusted to do a better job. Reproducible: Always

This has worked in the toolkit login manager for a long time if the username matches (bug 229762) but it'll intentionally not clobber existing values (a different username) due to bug 270558.
