Steve, For people who will not use form saving for whatever reason, we should provide the user the option for seamonkey to "don't offer to save anymore form info". I think such an option should be a checkbox right on the "save info?" dialogue box. Now I know you might have a different opinion, and there's already a checkbox there (for "never save.." for this site (?)). But both German and I believe that more people will be able to make use of the "don't offer to save anymore..." box than the the current checkbox of "never save" for this site. thoughts? -kevin

Summary: Possible RFE: "don't offer again" for save form dialogue → Wallet's save dialog pops up every time a form is submitted
Let's separate the problem from the solution. The problem that you are reporting is that wallet's save dialog pops up every time a form is submitted. So I'm changing the summary line to reflect that.
*** Bug 11967 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Shouldn't this bug summary read "Need to add option to disable wallet on wallet dialog." and not "Wallet's save dialog pops up every time a form is sumitted". See also bug 11967. Kevin, are you asking to disable wallet popups altogether or just to add a "turn off wallet" checkbox to the existing dialog (and remove the "turn off wallet for this site" checkbox)?
The bug report is reporting the problem, not the fix. And the problem is that the window is popping up on every form submission which is annoying. Here is the fix that I am about to implement. Remove the wallet code from the on-submit handler so that wallet never even gets called in and does not save any user values at that time. Instead the user must manually invoke wallet's save function from a chrome button or menu item prior to doing the submit.
There's a good number of things to balance here. I like Steve's solution, assuming that we have available something that German mentioned about a month ago. German -- in our continuing discussions about how to expose Wallet functionality in the chrome (e.g., QuickFill icon that greys in and out), we last left off with your idea of a "tool tip/message bar" that would appear on the upper edge of the browser content window. So with this re-appearing bar, the bar might read "Save info on form by..." when the user is filling info on a form. Is this UE mechanism available? thx, kevin
Talked to German. Yep, it's available. Steve -- please sync with German on the trigger mechanism for the "mini-edge-popup". Or let me know if you want help with doing so. thx, kevin
