 In Firefox, if you have saved your login info and then try to update your
 profile, you must first clear the pre-populated "New Password" field.  If
 you forget to, none of the valid changes will be saved because it gives a
 "passwords don't match" error.  In my opinion, it should save the profile
 changes no matter if the passwords match or not.  S
 If the passwords don't match, save all the other data, leaving the
 password the same, and say "Changes saved, but the password wasn't
 updated."  Since saving your passwords in your browser is common I imagine
 that I'm not the only one who finds this as an irritation.
