Title: autocomplete=off should yield a one-time informational dialog Status in Mozilla Firefox: Won't Fix Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I am perfectly capable of telling how secure my computer is. Firefox honors site designer's requests to not allow autocomplete (password saving) on a given form field. This is a bug, not a feature. I read some rumors about banking sites threatening to block Firefox if it didn't honor autocomplete=off. Bowing to that pressure is unacceptable. At the very least, there should be an option (even if it's hidden in about:config) to disable this behavior. Also, if this behavior is going to be left, or there's going to be an option, it'd be nice if Firefox would pop-up a dialog the first time this happens: "This site has requested that browsers not save form data (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc.). [ ] Show this message when a site blocks autocompletion [OK]" Then, by default, users would see one warning about this. That way they'd know what the heck was going on instead of wondering (like I did) why Firefox isn't offering to save the password.
