focus annoyance in Firefox when using a Master Password

[Jason Bechtel]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hardy Heron (8.04)
Using Firefox 3.0 or 3.0.1

When the Master Password is engaged and the start state contains a site that requires a stored password, starting Firefox brings up a small dialog prompting for the master password. Unfortunately, one cannot simply start typing the password because the keyboard focus is not in the password field. Tabbing around or clicking in the field eventually solves it, but not necessarily the first entry into that field... hence, annoying.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

could you check whether this is still an issue in firefox-3.1 (available in jaunty).

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please let us know if you've had a chance to upgrade your OS yet or if you intend to? I do not have this problem with Firefox 3.5 on Jaunty (9.04). Thanks!

This bug is no longer an issue, even in 3.0.11.

Thanks for following up.
