successful.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to log in
2.back up, go forward, try again
3.works second time

Unfortunately, you need a password for one of these
in order to see the problem.  I'm hoping that someone
else has one.

From the description above, it doesnt' sound like you are using password 
manager.  So this bug needs to be reassigned, but I'm not sure where.  Could 
this be an HTTP authentication problem?  Assigning to networking to find out.

This bug is fixed in the build of 2001081715.  I have not
checked more recent builds.  (That one is very good and has
essentially no bugs that bother me.)
