Today's installment (perhaps less relevant because the patch hasn't
been taken? Not sure).
Launching mozilla on a 9.3.8 linux machine, going to a password-protectd
web site, I am promptd to enter a username & password, and the "Remember this
password?" button is not checked.
Examining the configuration in about:config and prefs.js, it looks OK.
I notice in Edit->Preferences->Privacy&Security->Passwords that the
"Use encryption when storing sensitive data" checkbox, though previously
checked, is not checked right now.
If I start the password manager, it claims I have no remembered passwords,
though the signon.SignonFileName clearly has entries in it.
If I check the "Use encryption..." box, then the password manager shows my
remembered passwords.
