Yes, but this is fixed in recent Firefox versions. see:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360493
The heise demo with JavaScript still works with Firefox 2.0.05 and
Safari.
On the other hand, if you can place JavaScript on a server, there are
other means of stealing passwords. So don't be too fast with blaming
Firefox. For more details read: Holes in Firefox password manager
