Earlier in this thread -- in response to my original question -- we were
told that "It's a trap" at
<http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html> is a test for
protection against phishing and "It's an attack" at
<http://www.itisatrap.org/firefox/its-an-attack.html> is a test for
protection against malware.  The text within the former (if you disable
the protection) clearly indicates the page is only about phishing.  The
text within the latter is not so clear, but I inferred from the first
sentence that it is about malware and not phishing.

I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off.  See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064639>.
