auto-fill fields not properly submitting
I've seen this on a few sites and it sounds like this person also experienced this. It happens on Linux and Window. I don't think it's a new bug/behavior.
I'll use vanguard.com as an example.
1. Visit investor.vanguard.com site. Click that you'd like to log on. 2. I'll be placed on a login.vanguard.com page that displays a Username field and a Password field. Because I've logged in before, those fields are yellow and filled in with the proper values. (In the case of the password field, it's all stars, but when I click to reveal the password, it's the correct password.) 3. Click on the "Log In". 4. The browser rerenders the page claiming that the userid or password is wrong.
But if I follow the above steps, but add a step:
2.5. I slightly edit both (one is not sufficient) fields, removing a character and putting it back in so the values are edited but not changed. As I do this the fields become white instead of yellow.
Now when I reach step (4), I'm actually logged in without complaints.
The underlying AJAX request is pretty cryptic, so I can't quickly spot/debug what happens at that level, but I assume the page is not passing the field values visible as yellow. on the page.
Am I misunderstanding how the yellow auto-fill works? (On most sites it works as I expected and no reediting the autofilled fields is necessary.)
Can this be fixed or should I put up with it?

I'll add.... if I go through the steps, but at step 2.5 click on the Username field a few times, every other time I click, FF will show me a list of choices for how to fill in the field(s). If I pick one (the only one in my case), The popup will go away. The fields look unchanged and remain yellow, but if I then submit, I am logged in.
