I am having trouble using a batch script to have Firefox open and auto-login to Mailenable webmail. In windows 7, if I run the following from a command prompt window, Firefox opens and executes the auto-login with no problems:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox>firefox.exe "http://mail.example.com/Hoodoo/lang/en/login.aspx?LanguageID=EN&UserID=MEDemo@Demonstration&Password=demo&Method=Auto&skin=hoodoo"


Using the following batch script, Firefox opens to the correct page, has the UserID filled in correctly, but leaves the password field blank.

start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" firefox.exe "http://mail.example.com/Hoodoo/lang/en/login.aspx?LanguageID=EN&UserID=MEDemo@Demonstration&Password=demo&Method=Auto&skin=hoodoo"

Firefox version 29.0.1

Anyone have any ideas as to why Firefox is leaving the password field blank when using a batch script?

Thanks

From cmd try: 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefo\firefox.exe" "http://mail.example.com/Hoodoo/lang/en/login.aspx?LanguageID=EN&UserID=MEDemo@Demonstration&Password=demo&Method=Auto&skin=hoodoo"
