It's simple: I've got Two tabs open One with a login form (e.g. Gmail login screen) And another (anything, e.g. New empty Tab)
On my personal computer, my (both) Gmail logins and passwords have been saved (it's a cookie, I think). Normal behavior is, when I type the first letter in the login field (e.g. 'b' for 'bobbyTest'), the auto-completed login name pops up. When I click the popped up name, both login and password fields are filled in and I can click 'Log In'.
The problem is when, before typing the first 'b' letter, I close the other tab (with the little x button) After this, typing 'b' in the login does not pop up anything.
It's been the same since FF 3.X as I can remember (I simply downloaded and installed FF, no customizations), I have FireBug plugin installed

ideato 3 months ago Hello xzajox, excellent observation !
i check it and it happens to me also not only with gmail login but and with yahoo login !!
it doesn't happen when you reload the page !
can any other confirm that, probably a bug ?
thank you -
cor-el 3 months ago Try to click outside the input field to temporarily remove the focus and click again in the input filed to see if that helps.
-
xzajox 3 months ago True, after removing the focus, the autocomplete works again. But it's two more clicks and I am so lazy :)

cor-el 3 months ago Try Tab and Shift+Tab.

xzajox 3 months ago The same. Removing focus this "TAB" way helps. But still too anti-lazy.
If you don't intend to fix this micro-bug, it's okay with me. Just let me know and I stop bothering :)
