Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Firefox 3.0.9, Ubuntu 9.04
1. Log in to a Web site that tries to open a popup window on the page following the login form. (One example of a site like this is <http://
2. Try to get Firefox to remember the password you entered.
What happens: The "Firefox prevented this site from opening a popup window." banner quickly replaces the "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" banner, making it practically impossible to get Firefox to remember the pasword.
What should happen: The popup blocking notification should not replace the password question.
One way of doing this would be to stack the two banners, one above the other.
(This problem was discovered during Canonical user testing of Ubuntu.)
