Firefox inserts a blank space in fron of stored User ID's for login fields. This drives me nuts. How do I configure Firefox to NOT insert the blank space?

I try to use Forefox to log into specific accounts and despite the fact that I configure the User ID correctly when I store it, Firefox always automatically inserts a blank space into the User ID field. I then get an error and have to correct the User ID. What is the point of storing the User ID if I have to manually correct it anyway?

Please tell me how to configure the browser to behave normally.

Thanks.

Is the extra space in the beginning or the end of the username?
