I find I have mis-described the problem; Firefox *does* recognize the password and save it, I can see it in the list of saved passwords. What it doesn't do is *offer it back* when I return to the page. Same net result, I have to look it up and put it in each time, but different path to get there. ---------------- End original message. ---------------------
Mailman is not broken just because it does not work the way you want it to with the browser you have chosen to use. If you can show how the implementation mailman uses is fundamentally wrong with a reference to an applicable RFC, I think then it would be appropriate for the mailman developers to address the issue. Until then, this is a problem with your browser and the browser developer is the appropriate organization to deal with the problem. Even if you did come up with such a reference and mailman is fundamentally broken, there are other issues that are likely to take priority over what is really just a minor annoyance.
This list, being a support list for mailman, is thus not the appropriate place to address this issue. Filing a bug report or feature request with the developers of Firefox (or any other similarly affected browser) is the right course of action.
