Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Wayne Hill (UX Intern)]

(Note: this is filed as part of the “Paper Cut” bugs — we assume that there may be multiple existing bugs on this. Please make them block this bug, and we will de-dupe if they are indeed exactly the same. Thanks!)

To reproduce:
1. go to a site with a saved password
2. try to set firefox to stop remembering that password for you
3. 

Recommendation:
Allow a user to right click within the password field and select "forget this password/login" to delete that entry within the password manager.

This might be better suited to the password manager's doorhanger notification. (Doesn't exist yet, but it's the future!)

Matt, would you consider this "fixed" since users can now click on the "Fill password -> View Saved Logins" and the Remove from that dialog?

Yeah, that helps for mouse users. For keyboard users they could always just use the delete key (with Shift on Mac) from the autocomplete popup to delete. There has been talk about an [X] in autocomplete popups like the awesomebar before but I don't think that's planned as there are concerns about accidental deletion.
