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.
