Firefox 30 login not working

[vbbucks]

We have an extra-net site that is working for some Firefox 30 users and not working for others. We have determined that if this about:config setting [ signon.remembersignons ] is true the login name is not passed into our application. Once it is set to false, the login works. Our login form is an HTTPS page in an iFrame on an HTTP page.

This has only started with Firefox 30 users. Hopefully, the Firefox team will fix this quickly or we can find a work-around to put on our page. The current "solution" is to tell users to use Chrome. I do not like that however we need to let them log in.

Hopefully the Mozilla devs spend a lot of time here. The www.mozilla.org site is terrible for bugs.

I was hoping that putting autocomplete off on the login input field would solve the problem but that did not work

Has anybody solved this on their web page?

Thanks in advance

Does it work if you display only the content of the iframe?

[vbbucks]

Still get the same result.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think it is the fix to this bug in version 30 that is causing the problem.

We can fix this by going into Tools..Options..Security and unchecking Remember Passwords For Sites; however that will remove that option for all sites. If we could have our site in the Exceptions section then this would work well. For some reason a site can only be removed :-/

This can be marked closed.

The problem was partially due to the change for autocomplete but also due to our security requirements to remove the username and password. Since our login form is hosted in another website we were required to blank the fields out on blur or some other time. We were blanking out the fields (onblur event) as we submitted and therefore not able to log in. So now when the form is submitted we have a setTimeout blank the fields so that they submit and the values are removed shortly after that. Very odd but fixed for us.
