User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100913 Firefox/4.0b6pre
Build Identifier: 

Passwords aren't presented for HTML popups at all, even if you select the username no password is presented. However if you type a different password, Firefox notes the password has changed from what's stored.

Testcases:
http://formspring.me
http://ssl.rapidshare.com

Reproducible: Always

Confirmed with local (Finnish) sites, like https://www.veikkaus.fi

Requesting blocking as this is a pretty major issue.

[Paul O'Shannessy [:zpao] (not bugmail, email directly)]

formspring.me - uses autocomplete=off

rapidshare.com - I don't see any way to log in from that page

imageshack.us - doesn't use a real form, not sure what they're doing

veikkaus.fi - as best I can tell, they are intercepting form submission and doing something on their own. That's not even an "HTML popup" so would belong in a different bug

So is there an example here that is a regression? Doesn't sound like this blocks.

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Yeah, this isn't a regression, as irksome as it is. I suspect it's a dupe, actually.
