Bug Description
On the login page for launchpad to report a bug today, I found that Firefox and/or launchpad(?) had remembered my password (- it's weeks since I used it so I didn't remember if I had asked it to or not). However when I tried to report a bug by opening launchpad in Firefox a few hours later (computer and Ubuntu remained running whole time), on restarting Firefox I found that the password was not remembered. Not remembering where I had noted my p/w weeks ago, this time I had to do a 'forgot password' change to log on - so there's no doubt about it, and I have no idea why this should be.
I don't know if the problem has a 'reverse' logic effect but it just could be a security issue?
Thanks for good work!
Jules

This is not an ubuntu bug, I put launcpad in "affects" column.
If you meant "the password field showed stars"
when you said "I found that Firefox and/or launchpad(?) had remembered my password"
this isn't a bug about launchpad either.
Check firefox privacy options and list of remembered passwords.
