Summary: teach firefox that different lists may have different passwo

Initial Comment:
given two lists on a mailman instance, foo and bar, each with a list passsword 
the same as the name. login to one, save the password in firefox, go to the 
other's admindb and it will fail - wrong password. login and ask firefox to 
remember it and it resets the password saved for the list foo.

This is annoying :) I suspect you are using the same field and form names - 
while I don't know what the heuristic ff uses for html auth field detection, 
its certainly assuming its the *same* password.

One hack that might be elegant and work would be a hidden field called username 
set to the list name :)

Another would be just changing things to ff thinks its a different password and 
stores it differently.

I'd *really* love a fix that can be backported to 2.1.8 which our list servers 
are running.

The template for the pages is admlogin.html. See
<http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9> for ways to make an edited version of this
template. The string %(listname)s will be replaced with the list name. You
could implement your first suggestion by changing the line

      <TD><INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="adminpw" SIZE="30"></TD>

to

      <TD><INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userid" VALUE="%(listname)s">
          <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="adminpw" SIZE="30"></TD>

Changing the name "adminpw" to something list specific as in your second
suggestion would require several code changes to identify the password.
