Long tapping on an empty input field presents the context menu with the options: "Copy All", "Select All", and "Select Input Method". Of those, only the third option would be of interest in this situation. Rather than invoking the context menu on an empty field, a long tap should be just interpreted as an attempt to focus the field.

STR: http://mail.yahoo.com, long tap into the empty 'Yahoo! ID' or 'Password' field.

I'm not sure about this.  "Paste" and "Select Input Method" are both valid for empty input fields.  If you want to focus the input field, why not just single-tap on it?

We should definitely eliminate "Copy All" and "Select All" when the field is empty.
Removing [parity-stock] because the stock browser does display a context menu for empty input fields, at least in my HTC T-Mobile G2 (stock Android 2.3).

Let's just fixup the context menu entries for an empty textbox. Adjust bug summary as needed.

This hides the "Copy All" and "Select All" when there is nothing to copy or select.

This also steals a line from XUL fennec to hide "Copy" and "Copy All" for password fields.

This is a low-risk Android-only patch that fixes several cases where the wrong context menu items appear for form fields.
