User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030714 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030714 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 This is a problem and a potential security threat to those who may be filling in sensitive forms. Firebird's "Save form information" option, which is set by default, cannot be unset, despite the value of the check box in the preferences dialog that reads "Save information I enter in web page forms and the Search Bar". This bug, coupled with bug 204359 can be potentially hazardous to those who wish to keep information from being saved in the web browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uncheck the checkbox under "Save form information" 2. Clear saved forms 3. Go to a website that has forms 4. Type something in and submit 5. Leave to another site, go back and start typing the same thing. The drop-down menu for saved information will appear Actual Results: The form completion drop-down menu appeared, despite the preference is set to disable. Expected Results: No form drop-down should have appeared, nor should the browser have cached the information.
I looked into the options in about:config, and it sets browser.formfill.enable to false. Seems it may be something with the engine itself.
