The Firefox 3 beta has a nice new UI for remembering passwords. The
first time you type a password into a form and click "submit" the
browser does the submit and then puts a thin window at the top of the
next page asking whether you want to remember the password. In Firefox
2 the option to remember was a modal dialog you had to choose before
the submit happened, so there was no way to know whether you were
remembering the correct password. By deferring the decision
until after the result page loads, you can avoid committing bad
passwords.
Firefox 3 is a significant improvement in lots of ways. It's much more responsive on Windows and the new Location bar autocomplete thing is cool. Beta 4 has one terrible bug with scrolling textareas, and the lack of 3.0 compatible addons is a nuisance. But FF3 is generally a big upgrade and stable for use now. |
