User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 vBulletin is a widely used message board system. However, Firefox does not store the passwords for login correctly. Go to the URL linked to, and try to login with any username and pass: the password manager will come up as expected. If you hit yes, you'll take notice that once you try logging in again, the password does NOT appear. So, after you run into this problem, open signons.txt found in the firefox profile. If you go to vbulletin.com/forum in the file, you'll see the data was stored as "vb_login_username" and "vb_login_password", which is completely different from all other sites stored in the file. If you look in your password manager (tools>options>privacy>saved password) and you choose to view the password, only the username is displayed: the password section is blank. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to the URL, and attempt to login, allowing password manager to save the password. 2.After logging in, or attempting, logout if necessary, and attempt logging in with the same username. The password will not appear. 3. Actual Results: Passwords were not saved properly. Expected Results: Firefox should properly store the passwords.
Confirmed with FireFox 1.0 under Windows 2000. The signons.txt file has a hashed entry for a password. But viewing the passwords in the Password Manager shows only a blank field.
