From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (Win98; I) BuildID: 2000102304 Mozilla will fill in the same info for a form on every page of the site if the form field names are the same. If you input 2 usernames, you get an annoying pop-up box asking you to select a name on every page with a form. It should save passwords per page not per site. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.sign up for a forum account - Save the password for the site 2.load the front page 3.name is filled in on "freecounter login" 4.visit http://www.plebian.com/settlers 5.click "post news" - name is also filled in there

Just a nit, but I believe you meant the component to be single-signon and not autofill. Single signon has to do with the password manager which is what you are describing whereas autofill has to do with the form manager. I own them both but I'm modifying the component here for clarity. I believe that bug 57910 might be a dup of this one, although I dismissed it as invalid because it was marked autofill and I interpreted it as such.

Your point is well taken. This was done by design. When I first implemented it, I tried to use it at vanguard.com and discovered that I was being routed to different servers randomly each time I logged on. So I made the identification be to the host (www.vanguart.com) and not include the path or port numbers. This was for convenience. I was well aware that this could lead to the opposite problem -- i.e., two entirely different forms (perhaps from different companies) both under the same host would each get the others saved log-in. So this was a design trade-off. The first time the user encounters such a situation he could save both username/password pairs and then on future visits to either login form he would be presented with a list from which to chose the saved login that he wants to use. Therefore marking this as won't fix.

Per morse's comments, I'm marking verified

reopening to dupe properly. this should have been done the first time with one of the existing bugs.

I think this one was duped accidentally. Sites with two types of logins (post news and post comments, for example) should use different field names for the two forms to avoid confusing password manager.

No, I don't think that dup was accidental. Bug 153986 (Improve password manager heuristic so it doesn't break sites) is exactly the problem we are running into here. The idea is that we might be able to improve the heuristic so that it works correctly on more and more sites. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 153986 ***
