When I try it now on Firefox 3.6 then Firefox exhibits the same issues
as Chrome. But when I filed the bug my version of Firefox (that came
with Ubuntu) didn't have this issue.

I logged into openstreetmap.org at the time, had Firefox remember my
password and it did that on the login form, but did not fill out any
of the password fields in the preferences. Now it does however.

Anyway. IMO the best way to solve this issue is to just redesign the
preferences so that they have tabs (like e.g. the Twitter preferences
do). Then OAuth settings could also be moved from the main user page
into the preferences, and anything password-related could have its own
tab.

I'm not offering patches though:) There's other stuff that needs to be
done to the preferences like making the language selection better. I'd
file bugs if Tom wouldn't bite my head off :)
