Issolated test case:

http://www.naos.co.nz/tmp/ubuntu/firefox/mailman-signon-page.html

Steps to reproduce is slightly different here, I think because there's no real form processing behind it. To reproduce:

1. Go to URL
2 Enter some string to be the password, eg "test" (it doens't matter, just
      needs something)
3. Choose to remember the password
4. Observe "success" message
5. Go back to URL (eg, click on the link in the success page)
6. Observe browser crashes
7. Restart firefox
8. Go to URL
9. Observe browser crashes
10. Remove ~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE/signons.txt
11. Start firefox
12. Go to URL
13. Observe browser doesn't crash
14. Repeat from 2

Test case (stripped down version of the Mailman admin page) is attached. The "success" page is just a stub HTML page with a link to this bug and back to the test case for convenience.

Something like the launchpad.net signon form can serve as an example that doesn't crash.
