I have noticed several sites lately (the one listed in this report as well as the AT&T site) where the Password Manager is no longer able to function (supply the user/password inputs). I had seen this occur earlier and found a script that usually restored the PM's functionality if you ran it against the page just prior to clicking the User input field. Now however, there are some sites where even that work-around no longer helps. Can someone look into why the PM isn't working for these sites and tell me whether it is possible to fix or work around the issue? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to URL (e.g. https://twdal.convergentcare.com/twdal/validateSelfCareCustomer.do?action=initialize) and attempt to get Password Manager to fill in the form. 2. 3. Actual Results: PM won't fill the inputs. Expected Results: Password Manager should fill in the user and password. I hope that there is someone that can figure out why this isn't working because it seems like more sites are resorting to this type of page coding that prevents automatic inputs from working.
The "work-around" for this at present is to manually type in the user/password information.
I don't see autocomplete='off' on the site. So would you please enable the password manager debugging preference and copy the relevant data from the error console. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Password_Manager_Debugging
That page doesn't have a form, it's only lose input elements. The information is sent with ajax, so there isn't anything to trigger the password manager.
So there is no plan to address this type of input page (with respect to the Password Manager in FireFox) in the future? I ask because it seems that more web sites are taking this (or a similar) approach to validation.
