Same Firefox version I have. Mailman 2.1.6, though (Dreamhost.com's installation, not under my control). I had the same thing happening on my previous Mailman installation, though, which was whatever debian sarge is at -- seems to be 2.1.5. I have the same thing happen on the Dreamhost installation using Opera 9 (build 8501). > Have you tried using another firefox profile (or from another machine > entirely) to verify that this isn't something specific to your firefox > config/system setup? If firefox has profiles, they're not in the menu and not in the help (under that name). But I tried Opera as well, and I've seen this over the last two years with various browser installations. Try <http://lists.dragaera.info/admin.cgi/dragaera-dragaera.info>, put in an invalid password (unless you get *really* lucky guessing), and I don't expect your browser will offer it back to you when you come to try again; it doesn't for me. I find I have mis-described the problem; Firefox *does* recognize the password and save it, I can see it in the list of saved passwords. What it doesn't do is *offer it back* when I return to the page. Same net result, I have to look it up and put it in each time, but different path to get there. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
