This seems to have regressed going from Firefox 5 to Firefox 6.   The cursor focus does not stick in the password field in the URL.  

Possible regression of bug 532738

See source file of page: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1304605

Repro:
1) install Firefox 6 mobile, Nexus S
2) visit URL
3) tap cursor in the password field
4) Verify cursor has no focus and doesnt stick
5) This works on Firefox 5.

Expected"
- password field cursor sticks

Actual:
- no cursor focus
No longer blocks: 532738
Depends on: 532738

What i meant to say is the cursor does not stay focused when the user taps the password field.   No VKB appears so user can't type.
https://hire.jobvite.com/watermarkscript.js included on that page detects focus on one element and shifts it to another.  I am guessing that we deliberately suppress the keyboard on the newly-focused field because of bug 532738.

One solution would be to back out bug 532738 or pref it off (content.ime.strict_policy = false).

Another solution (maybe longer-term?) would be to modify the code 532738 to allow the keyboard to appear if the untrusted focus happens within the context of a user input event like a click (similar to our rules for pop-up blocking).  I don't know what this would require.
