No it shouldn't. It should provide a way for the designer of the page to
allow this behaviour, which it does.
No. It should obey the end user. This issue has been discussed to
death in the Fx development community regarding autocomplete disable
on forms. Google it if you must. Long story short: it's my f-ing
computer, it should do what I say. Why should I have to cut and paste
text into Notepad to read it?

As I said, depends if the site developer has a clue...
It should not be in his hands.
I didn't folow the early part of this thread, so I don't know if it's been
mentioned, but...
In Fx, Edit -> Preferences -> Content, select Advanced from the Fonts &
Colors box. Select the fonts you want and min font size and uncheck
"Allow pages to choose..."
Does that accomplish the desired effect?
