I find myself often facing the following problem.

Suppose I'm loading a page with Username and Password fields and a lot of
graphics and other "heavy" stuff. Using dial-up, the loading process is quite
slow and I start filling out the form elements as soon as they appear. I type
user name Username field, then switch to Password field and type a password
there. But suddenly I discover that Mozilla finished page loading and set up
cursor to Username field. And I'm typing my secret password in plain text there.
Sometimes it's even worse: I find out that I typed (a part of) the password in
the Username field after I have clicked Enter and screwly filled info has been
submitted.

It would be very useful if Mozilla doesn't reset cursor position to default if
the user changed cursor position during page loading process.
