User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131028112627

Steps to reproduce:

Create the folloing HTML file and save it:

<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>

<body onload='document.getElementById("login").focus()'>

<form name='myform' action='' method='post'>
login <input id='login' name='login' type='text'><br>
pass <input name='pass' type='password'><br>
<br>
<input type='submit' value='done'>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Then load this page by opening the file and then store several login names and password pairs by entering some garbage text into the boxes and clicking the button. After this, create a shortcut link to this page on Firefox's Bookmarks Toolbar by pulling the favicon to the toolbar. (The toolbar must be enabled in the following menu: View / Toolbars / Bookmarks Toolbar).

Open this bookmarked page in a new tab by middle clicking with a mouse or pushing both buttons of a touchpad.


Actual results:

Though the login box gets the focus on page load, no list of previously stored names appear in a dropdown list when clicking into the box or pushing the down arrow.


Expected results:

A dropdown list with login names should have appeard when clicking into the box or pushing the down arrow. In every other cases when opening the page some other way, this does happen. The list also appears when the focus is taken off the login textbox, for exmaple by clicking on the page body, and then clicking back to the login box.
The problem exists on both Linux and Windows platform too (tested on Ubuntu 13.04 x64 and Windows XP SP3).

Doesn't seem to exist on version 17.x (Linux platform).

It still seems to persist with recent FF versions. Any dev interested? Must be a tiny glitch.
