Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2011-03-11 14:26:48 EST 
When signing into websites with a username/password, firefox often offers to save the username/password for me.

This is not happening with the orion login dialog.
Comment 1 Mark Macdonald CLA 2011-09-28 10:16:45 EDT 
Apparently triggering the Password Manager prompt requires
- a real <form>
- submitting the <form> via the form action, not xhr

Simon, are you planning to work on this bug? It's very old, but still valid. I could try to do something about it in the next release.
