Passwords missing

Submitted by tradeinthailand on September 9, 2008 - 8:09pm

I have seen others post about this problem but have not seen a solution.
Often when TB goes to check mail the p/w entry box is shown and although, often, has a p/w in it with the remember check box unchecked.

Is there any solution to this?

Thanks

Chris

there may be extra or missing password files in your profile, there should be a combination of 7 or more numbers with a .s after it ex: 6542290.s in the Profile folder. There should only be one and the prefs.js (open with Notepad++ Portable)file should have a reference at the very bottom to that file name 6542290.s or whatever you have. It should match, yours may not.

Tried but ......

Hi,

Thanks for the help.
I checked in the profiles and I have 3 prefs.js, prefs-1.js and prefs-2.js. The last two have not been accessed for a long time. Perhaps I should delete them?

I opened prefs.js with Notepad ++ and found the following number near the bottom;

user_pref("wallet.SchemaValueFileName", "95445469.w");
user_pref("wallet.caveat", true);
user_pref("wallet.crypto", true);

user_pref("mail.shell.checkDefaultClient", false);

Looking through the list of files in my profile directory I do not find a file with that number included, nor is there any file with numbers or a .s ext.

If I go to the options in TB and look at passwords, they are all there. I modified one and that changed a file called signons.txt

Thanks for helping.

Chris
