I've had a similar problem developing a web application for my company. When trying to log in with a typical user - password form, I've noticed that the password input is not sending correctly codified characters, so the validation will fail (the same application works perfectly with FF2, IE6 and IE7). This only affected the password input, not the clear text one for the login. I've tracked the http communication and I've noticed that firefox 3.0b5 is sending incorrectly codified characters in the POST request.
For instance, using login='tést' and password='tést' (both using non- ascii characters), firefox3.0b5 under Ubuntu 8.04 will send through POST the parameters login='tést' and password='test' (stripping the accented non-ascii characters). This seems a problem when typing, as if I copy&paste 'tést' into the password input instead of manually typing it, everything works. -- username and password not accepted for webmail application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
