I don't believe this is a bug. If I understand the complaint correctly, at least some users above are complaining that hotmail will not remember their username/password like most other sites.
The problem is that hotmail has disabled autocomplete for the login page. See http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2007/07/16/firefox-dont- remember-yahoo-mail-and-hotmail-password/ Raymond posted a snippet of javascript code which will re-enable autocomplete on the page: javascript:(function(){var ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function n(i,what){return i+" "+what+((i==1)?"":"s")}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit="";++cs;}if(x.attributes["autocomplete"]){x.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes["autocomplete"]){y.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++cea;}}}alert("Removed autocomplete=off from "+n(ca,"form")+" and from "+n(cea,"form element")+", and removed onsubmit from "+n(cs,"form")+". After you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password.")})(); -- login hotmail.com https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155459 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
