before update to version 41.0, username/password saving mechanism works good. but after update to firefox 41.0, when I select "Remember passwords for sites", the username/password appear in different input box in different page. e.g. in below input, I added attribute "input autocomplete="off" ", but the username also appear which should not here for saved username in other page :(

saved page user_name: <input id="j_username" name="j_username" class="text required" placeholder="Username" autocomplete="off" type="text">

but saved username appear in another page of input box: <input autocomplete="off" class="input-text username1" type="text">


when using version 40.00.xx, no this problem

So you are saying that the password auto complete function still works on webpages that has this autocomplete=off in the form attributes. Do you have a test page for this, this would create a good test for a bug.

Please also check signon.storeWhenAutocompleteOff in the about:config. Others have also reported this recently for version 40, but have not had the bugs confirmed: 1199497
