Firefox can't remember hotmail password

[Guybrush88]

Binary package hint: firefox

i noticed that when i open my hotmail account with firefox 3.0.5 i select the option to remember the password from the website, i insert the password, i check my mail, but the next time i want to check my mail the password isn't remembered and i have to re-enter it. i use ubuntu 8.10

I would guess this is due to the unusual UI of the page itself. I suppose this is a bug, but I would imagine not an easy one to fix. If it were up to me, I'd mark this as Won't Fix because I imagine it would require a lot of work... and then M$ would go and change the style of the page to break the update etc.

What does everyone else think?

Yes, sorry to say. I have upgraded Ubuntu and Firefox and it still happens.
