I have an HP laptop with a fingerprint reader which allows you to set up access to websites requiring username/password so you just need to swipe your finger over the reader. It worked great with Firefox version 3.6, but since upgrading to 4, the HP Password Manager no longer recognizes the logon screens, and thus will not work. Is there a fix/workaround?

Gave up on 4.0 - reinstalled 3.6.16 - fingerprint reader works fine again.
