Confirm Password Change

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.
