Description

At least in Firefox 3.5, username / password registration fields get autocompleted in places they shouldn't be autocompleted if users opt to have Firefox remember their username/password for login.

I've noticed this behavior in the following places:
  • When editing a specific LDAP connection, my username/password is inserted into the form even though it's supposed to be blank.
  • When changing passwords, the current password field gets autocompleted, this should not happen as this is a security feature and should require the user to actually type in the old password.

It is unclear to me why this is happening in these two places because the fields have different names in the login form on one hand and the LDAP form on the other hand.

I have, however, confirmed this behavior on two different Firefox browsers (although both are Linux versions). I'll try to confirm that this happens in Firefox on Windows as well later.
