I was working with Django’s view.password_change today when I encountered the dialog box above. As far as I could tell all of my information was being passed to Django correctly; but for reasons unknown to me I was still getting this “Confirm Password Change” message.
After a bit of Googling, I found out that this is actually a Firefox-specific dialog. It comes up when you want to change a user’s password on a site where Firefox has multiple account information. Firefox is unable to determine which user’s password you want to change, so it shows this dialog box to ask for confirmation.
As far as I can tell, there is no way to circumvent this message. Its probably an APD (As Poorly Designed) feature.

Thanks a lot for posting this man, it was driving this django newbie crazy
That dialog should have some branding on it to make you realize it’s firefoxs
Adding the autocomplete=”off” to the form or inputs will cause the Firefox password manager from trying to save/change the password and by that you will prevent the “Confirm Password Change” dialog box
