On the page it is written "If the site needs the username and password, type
them here:" followed by one <INPUT type=text> and one <INPUT type=password> (and
some other form elements)
I left both blank and a window pop up: "Do you want to password manager to
remember the login ..."


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Leave any username and password fields in any form blank and press submit button

Actual Results:  Password manager bother me to save empty username and password
(since username and password I left blank)

if the both username and password is empty (or maybe not even if one of them is
empty)

This happened to me just now in hotmail, I left both fields blank and it still 
asked to remember password. That was on build 2001-03-12-09-Mtest. Try to go 
onto a site that you havent visited before, because once the blank is saved as a 
password it wont ask you to remember it again.

Handing over to Steve as this looks to be a password manager issue.

The password manager was designed to indeed not put up the dialog if the 
username/password fields are blank.  And this is working fine.

I believe the problem with the hotmail page is the fact that that page never 
stops loading.  There are several other pages that never finish loading as well 
and they all play havoc with the password manager.  See for example bug 53956.

I have no idea what the problem is with the internal intranet site that the 
reporter mentions but I assume it is also a page that never finishes loading.  
If not, the reporter will have to send us a copy of that page so we can 
investigate further.

I'm closing this out as works-for-me because well-behaved pages (such as 
yahoo.mail) work fine.  The fact that certain pages never finish loading is the 
topic of open bug 53956 that I mentioned above.

When trying to remember an empty e-mail account password, it refuses to 
remember, and on next load of Mozilla will prompt for the password again. This 
is probably related.

Last comment is addressed further in bug 73931 which reporter just opened.  So 
this bug will remain closed in spite of that comment.
