783336 - (:taras) mobile version of sites don't grab the sync'd values from password manager

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Logins, Passwords and Form Fill, defect, P5)

Description

[Crystal Beasley [:skinny, :crystal]]

Google Nexus running Nightly synced to my laptop

When I go to www.facebook.com it redirects me to the mobile login screen. I doesn't pull my username and password from password manager, so I have to request the desktop site. I log in there, then flip back to mobile version. It should pull the credentials regardless. Most users won't know to do this trick, and this seriously undercuts the value of Sync.

Not a Sync issue: passwords are keyed by domain, and the domain differs. There's probably an existing bug to dupe to, so dropping this back to Fennec.

Hi!

I tested this on the latest versions of Nightly 68.0a1 (2019-05-08), Beta 67.0b18, Release 66.0.5 with Nexus 6P (Android 8.1.0) and I could reproduce the issue following the steps:

1. Go to facebook.com on Firefox desktop, login and save your credentials;
2. Run a sync on desktop and mobile;
3. Go to facebook.com on Firefox mobile;
4. Observe the credentials fields.

Expected result:
After the desktop sync, when you access the same page on mobile, the saved credentials should be filled.

Actual result:
The user is redirected to the mobile version and only the email address field is synced.

Notes:

• When requesting Desktop site, the credentials are filled;
• This is not reproducible on twitter.com, login.yahoo.com, ebay.com.
