My hate in this respect with Firefox is that it seems to update its internal passwords if it thinks it can tell that you've changed the password on a website. Which is usually fine, but not if the change was some JavaScript clearing the password field because the password is transmitted hashed in a hidden form field. (Specifically, this is a problem with LiveJournal and Firefox.) I don't like having my password-stored-in-the-browser reset to the empty string each time I use the site. Just use what I entered, OK, not what the JavaScript changed it to? -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@xxxxx.xxx>
