605429 - Allow fields of type e-mail to be used as usernames

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 600551

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[PikeUK]

Attachment: Example form showing that email inputs are not treated as potential usernames

Password manager currently treats only text inputs as potential usernames. Firefox 4 adds support for email input fields. Since e-mail addresses are often used as usernames it would be good if password manager could allow email fields to be used.

I've attached an example form which demonstrates that an email filed is not saved as a username (if you edit the HTML to remove type="email" then it works fine).

Tested in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101018 Firefox/4.0b8pre
