Research direction

Start by reproducing the saved-credential autofill flow in Fennec, Firefox Android, or Mull on Android 13, as described in the issue. Trace the Android autofill and Basic Auth entry points from there; done means selecting the saved username and password lets the site finish loading instead of waiting indefinitely, with a regression check if the project provides one.
