Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Firefox always used to present the authentication dialog (for
password-protected web pages) with "OK" on the left and "Cancel" on
the right. This new version has them reversed, which really screws up
my muscle memory: enter user, tab, enter pass, tab, space, tab, space
now cancels rather than OK's!

Considering the above, and considering this won't change any time soon,
I'll just close this bug instead of leaving it wontfix and clutter the
bug list.
