Recent changes to Toolkit's Password Manager (for SeaMonkey, implemented
with 2.29) supposedly enabled the saving of passwords despite
autocomplete=off per bug #956906.  However, the companion changes (bug
#658936 and #1025703) to fill-in passwords on login pages -- especially
when the user ID and password are entered in separate pages -- was NOT
implemented.  Thus, passwords can be saved but not always used.

The Remember Passwords extension seemed to handle both saving and using
passwords when autocomplete=off.  However, that extension is apparently
very incompatible with the new Password Manager.

Can anyone create an extension to use saved passwords when
autocomplete=off?  If so, it should handle the case in bug #658936.
