When one goes to administer a user, such as to activate them or change their settings, their username is always shown as the first user (or it could be the active user, I haven't checked). This means you have to manually enter the username everytime or it complains that the user already exists. On the standard user list the name shows up as what it should be.

I am not sure, but IIRC I got this with Mozilla that fills in forms for you automatically. When looking at the page source, the correct name was in the field, but Mozilla in all its wisdom filled in my username instead. I don't know if this is your problem.

This is an annoying and confusing Mozilla bug/behavior. If you want it fixed, vote for the bug at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112260
