From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221 BuildID: 2001122106 Please note: This particular installation of Mozilla was migrated over the last months from 0.9.3 (I think that was the first version I tried) to 0.9.7 in various version steps as they became released, so the profile used was not created with version 0.9.7. Only the officially numbered and released talkback builds were used, no developer builds were ever installed on the system. In the preferences, under "Privacy & Security - Master Passwords - Master Password Timeout", the option "If it has not been used for XX minutes or longer" was selected in the profile. The timeout value was left at the default of 30 minutes. Since the migration to version 0.9.7, Mozilla asks for the master password every time it is needed, i. e. whenever a site for which information is stored in Password Manager is browsed to. This is the actual problem to be dealt with in this bug. The behaviour shown is just like as if the settings "Every time it is needed" was selected, although it isn't. The setting "The first time it is needed" doesn't work either! I have tried the following, all without success: 1. Changing the default value from 30 minutes to another value. 2. Selecting "The first time it is needed" or "Every time it is needed" and then changing it back to the original setting. 3. Repeating 1 and 2, closing the browser completely to force Mozilla to read the settings upon startup. I have checked the prefs.js file, it always had the correct settings. So Mozilla writes the settings correctly, but then misinterprets them afterwards or ignores them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (Possibly:) Do Steps 1 to 6 on the Win32 Talkback Build 0.9.6 of Mozilla, migrate to Mozilla 0.9.7 between step 6 and 7. 1. Create a profile 2. Go to "Edit - Preferences", "Privacy & Security - Master Passwords", set a master password 3. Go to "Edit - Preferences", "Privacy & Security - Master Passwords - Master Password Timeout", set the Master Password Timeout options to "If it has not been used for XX minutes or longer", leave the default value 30 for XX. 4. Browse to a site that requires a UserID/PW combination for login, login and let Password Manager remember these values 5. Repeat the previous step for another site. 6. Close Mozilla completely 7. Start Mozilla again. 8. Browse to the first site again. Enter your master password. 9. Browse to the second site directly after that. Actual Results: Mozilla asks for the master PW again, although it shouldn't do so for 30 minutes after step 8 Expected Results: Mozilla should not have asked for the master password. Although I think this is unlikely, the problem might have something to do with the fact that the profile used has been migrated over some Mozilla Talkback Builds in the past few months. Anyway, if that is the cause, it's still a bug, albeit a different one.
