I've now modified the patch from Mozilla Bugzilla (linked earlier in this bug) to apply to Firefox 1.5.0.9 (as shipped with Ubuntu) and recompiled the Firefox package with the patch (which takes about 2 hours, and 1GB of disk space), and appear to have a non-broken version of Firefox that is able to handled saved passwords on forms with and without usernames (ie, properly fill them in, both Mailman's admin screen and Launchpad's login form seemed to work). The modified patch is attached.
Perhaps someone at Ubuntu could verify that this patch makes sense, and if so apply it and rebuild the Firefox security update. (I'd offer to make my binary available for others to test, but as far as I can tell Firefox trademark restrictions prevent anyone distributing a non- authorised build, even if it's supposed to be more stable than the one it replaces.)
