The choices are "Yes" (default), "Never for this site", and "No". The arrow keys won't navigate, which makes the interface awkward, since it requires switching from keyboard to mouse control. Incidentally, the default should probably be "No", since otherwise it's easy to accidentally hit Enter, which would potentially save sensitive information such as a credit card number on the harddisk in an unencrypted format, with no easy way to overwrite (as opposed to merely delete) it. I seem to think that other, if not all, Mozilla dialog boxes disallow keyboard navigation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a site with an encrypted form. 2. Fill out the form. Get the dialog box mentioned above. 3. Try to choose "No" with the arrow keys. Actual Results: Nothing. That's the point. Expected Results: Moved the marquee from one choice to another.
Works for me. I guess it didn't make it into 1.2.1. You'll have to wait for 1.3 or use a nightly build. Thanks for the bug report - if you can, try to test a recent nightly trunk build when reporting bugs. Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 84308 ***
