Hannover (Germany) - The Mozilla developers have fixed a known issue in the password manager of Firefox & Co, but a door remains open for exploitation. If the user gives permission, the inbuilt password manager of the open-source browser saves passwords and enters data into the respective form fields on the user's next visit automatically. This happens not only on the page where the password was saved, but also on all other pages on this server that contain a similar form.
