It is not SeaMonkey but Password Manager (a component of Mozilla's Toolkit product) that is at fault. Password Manager will not save a password if the input form has "autocomplete=no". Having saved a password by some means to work-around that restriction, Password Manager will not input it into the form again if the input form has "autocomplete=no". Recent changes to the Password Manager now allow saving a password even if "autocomplete=no". Those changes, however, did not include allowing the password to be used if "autocomplete=no". The Remember Passwords extension handled both the saving and using of a password even if "autocomplete=no". The recent changes to Password Manager, however, created an incompatibility with the Remember Passwords extension. -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland.
