Bug#781712: iceweasel: Saved passwords sometimes sends something wrong to websites

[dave at 661.org]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.5.3esr-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using Iceweasel 31.5.3, fresh with no addons, I tried to access my dice.com 
account.  There, I typed my email address and my password.  I logged in and 
Iceweasel stored my password.  I then logged out and allowed Iceweasel to fill 
in the username and password fields.  This resulted in dice.com giving me a bad 
username or password error.  I know for a fact that the password was saved 
correctly.  I installed the plugin "Show Me The Password" which unmasks the 
series of dots to the actual password.  This also confirmed the correct 
password.  I moved .mozilla/ again and tried again.  Still it won't work. 
Curiously, if I delete the last character from the password that was 
automatically filled in and retype it, I am able to log in.
