Bug in Iceweasel when changing passwords on GitHub?
Raw
the_story_unfolds.txt
This requires that you have a GitHub account.
Try the following:
1. Start Iceweasel (I've tried 38.0.1 on Debian testing) in safe mode:
MOZILLA_DISABLE_PLUGINS=1 iceweasel -safe-mode
2. Navigate to https://github.com and log in.
3. Navigate to https://github.com/settings/admin
4. Enter the string "123" in the field "New password"
5. Observe that you get a strange error message, similar to the one in this screenshot: https://imgur.com/qUvqGvC
Expected result:
5. A little yellow tooltip appears underneath the "new password" field, letting you know that your new password would be too short.
