Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 227632

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Jay White]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.14) Gecko/20100930 SeaMonkey/2.0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.14) Gecko/20100930 SeaMonkey/2.0.9

When encountering a site requiring basic authentication seamonkey does not allow selection of the username desired.  So if one has multiple authentication usernames (and passwords) seamonkey only always uses the first one.  No choice is possible, but and additional username and password is correctly stored in password database.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to site requiring basic authentication
2. ensure have registered with multiple usernames (and password)
3.
Actual Results:  
no choice of usernames presented.

Expected Results:  
Should be possible to choice the username to use.


Older seamonkey (pre 2.0) used to work properly.

I see the same issue with Firefox Aurora 5.0a2, so moving to Toolkit.
