Javascript Idiocy

I tried to log into my Netflix account with Firefox. At the password prompt, my Firefox Password Manager popped up the username for my Netflix account, but no matter how many times I clicked it, it wouldn’t fill in the username/password in their respective fields. Then I tried to bypass the password manager and just type in my username, but no characters appeared.

Why? Because Netflix’s website requires javascript to enter text in the form. And I run Firefox with NoScript, which blocks that javascript.

#?&@! Netflix blocks form entry? And there’s no indication of what’s wrong or how to fix it?? What absolutely crap usability.
