No, no, no.  I'm talking about the pop-up login box.

If you're running webmin, go to that url: https://localhost:10000/ or
whatever, and you'll get a Netscape/Mozilla popup box that just wants
Username: and Password: (just exactly like on an XDM login screen).  I'm
not talking web form, I'm talking login popup.  It's a separate window
from what's being displayed in the Netscape/Mozilla window.

This box should work exactly like XDM/KDM/GDM/WDM does (and Netscape 4.x
does).

As I said, I was weaned on UNIX.  All login boxes get an automatic
username<Enter>, I don't even think about it.  It's like the <Enter> is
part of the username.  Other OSs may do their own thing, but I dare you to
find any one of the 106+ UNIX variants that do anything different with a
login prompt.

I'm too old and have too many years doing the same thing to change now.  I
just need to know how to change Mozilla to act for me like it should, not
like some M$lop knockoff. (On those extremely rare instances where I have
to log into a M$ box, I usually have someone else do it for me since it
seems to reject my long-standing username<Enter> habit.

So to repeat my question for the umpteenth time, how do I make Mozilla do
the Right Thing(tm)?

Ciao,
