Hey there!

Can you please upload a screenshot I don't understand what you mean by "firefox does not recognize it as a login form"

Thank you!

[phirestalker (firestalker1-deactivatedaccount)]

I would but I really don't think a screenshot will help. What I mean is
that when I log in to this form firefox does not ask me to remember the
password, which led me to believe it doesn't recognize it.

Hii!

I still don't understand why firefox "doesn't recognize you"

[phirestalker (firestalker1-deactivatedaccount)]

I'll try to explain it step by step. I go to www.hotmail.com which takes
me to a login page. I put in my username and password. I then click
submit or whatever the button says. Firefox DOES NOT, like it does on
most other pages, ask me if I would like to remember the password. so
for this form I have to manually type in the username and password every
time. If however I go to gmail and type in the username and password the
box pops up to ask me if I would like to remember the password. I can't
possibly explain it any simpler

Hey!!

do you have this 2 checkbox?

 if yes > Do you check it both?
 if no > tell me what version do you have to try to reproduce this bug

firefox v2.0.0.6

Thank you!

[phirestalker (firestalker1-deactivatedaccount)]

yes I have the two checkboxes I keep them unchecked so that I have to
fill in the username and password. I do not want to use cookies to
remember me, I want my password stored in the same place as all my
others.
Yes my firefox version in 2.0.0.6 although this problem has been there
ever since they switched their login page to the new LIVE mail.
I noticed there is a version 2.0.0.8 that I can upgrade to today, I will
do that and let you know if this problem still exists.

Thank you

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I dont have an issue logging into my hotmail account from ubuntu feisty, gutsy, hardy, and windows firefox it works as well here.

[MiK (kimlop)]

with last upgrade of windows live mail it's all functionally.

[phirestalker (firestalker1-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm not sure, as I do not use windows except in dire emergencies lol.
however someone earlier had said it does I believe if you look back on
the bug report posts.

login page????? because I can log in to MSN fine but NOT hotmail.com

seems it was a microsoft bug.

[Brook Harty (brookharty)]

I seem to have this bug on Windows Firefox 2.0.0.11 for login.live.com also. Anyone duplicate?

[MiK (kimlop)]

This problem occurs only with wireless connection, with ethernet it's not verified

[Matthew Koyle (mgkoyle)]

I don't believe this is a bug. If I understand the complaint correctly, at least some users above are complaining that hotmail will not remember their username/password like most other sites.

The problem is that hotmail has disabled autocomplete for the login page. See http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2007/07/16/firefox-dont-remember-yahoo-mail-and-hotmail-password/

Raymond posted a snippet of javascript code which will re-enable autocomplete on the page:

javascript:(function(){var ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function n(i,what){return i+" "+what+((i==1)?"":"s")}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit="";++cs;}if(x.attributes["autocomplete"]){x.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes["autocomplete"]){y.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++cea;}}}alert("Removed autocomplete=off from "+n(ca,"form")+" and from "+n(cea,"form element")+", and removed onsubmit from "+n(cs,"form")+". After you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password.")})();

[MiK (kimlop)]

but this bug is verified only with wireless connection active, with various browsers (opera, ff2, ff3, Epiphany, Links), but is not verified with ethernet connection and the same browsers

It shouldnt matter wireless or wired, can you please test both if this
is a problem on your system and make a note. I dont have working GUi
browser atm so i cant bring up bug to test on hotmail, can you please
give me the link you are trying to log in at. it seems there are 3 or 4
different pages to log into hotmail live or new hotmail whatever it is
called now.

Please open a new bug on your issue as it is not the same issue as
everyone else was seeing. please also attach the full log files
/var/log/syslog to the new bug report so we can than decide what the
issue is, I'm assuming by your last comment that you have tested on
wired connection so this is more of a driver issue than Firefox issue so
we nee dthe log files to give us a better understanding
