This makes it look like every form is hanging. We need to fix it. Options I can this of are: - add a pref that will control SinglSignon off/on and turn it off by default. - use dialogs
Priority: P1
Target Milestone: M3
Wow. I filed this entire bug with dogfood browser. Nice!

Single Singon *is* turned off by default. If you are getting these dialogs, that means that once upon a time you must have said yes when single singon asked you if you wanted the feature enabled. This question is asked the first time ever that you go to save a form containing a password. It is never asked again and your answer is remembered. If you now want to turn it off, you need to go to the preference panel and do so. Aha, you reply, there is no preference panel yet. Correct -- so you should file a bug against that rather than against single signon. And you can hand-edit your prefs.js to now turn off single singon if you really don't want it. The fact the messages go to the console and the browser appears to hang is not unique to single singon. Any time a confirm dialog is to be put up, that will happen. Example is cookie nag box if you have your preference set to warn-before-accepting cookies. And there are many other places that happens as well. I tried to make it less painful for you by at least sounding a bell whenever such a console dialog occurs so you know to look at the console and don't think that the browser has hung. Am marking this bug as INVALID

The problem is the initial question that auto discovers the feature.

Per our talk the best solution if we dont have the dialogs is: - set default ON for single signon - obfuscate signons.txt (another bug that waterson is fixing) - capture logins and passwords without any dialog - release note that we are capturing logins and passwords (morse emails verah) - release note how to turn this off (morse emails verah) (and for your convenience, Steve, I am marking this bug ASSIGNED)

Fixed exactly as described above except that instead of removing the console dialogs, they are now under control of a preference and that preference is false by default.

re-assigning Paul W per discussion with him. John Unruh is not the right person for this bug. Jan, Wallet bugs are getting auto-assigned to John Unruh, Paul told me that he's not the right person, is that correct? we need to change it than.
