Details
I've been using the same profile for a while.
I'm using the "store passwords" feature.
I had chosen to encrypt sensitive data.
During the time that I have been using the profile, I have acquired new
certificates. However, I still have all the certificates since the beginning.
My master password preference is set to only ask me the first time it is needed.
Since a couple of days, whenever I access a page where I had a password stored
for, I'm prompted to enter my master password again. But entering it correctly
does not help, the form does not get filled out. Instead, I'm prompted again
when I try to submit the form.
In addition, when I try to open the password manager by clicking the button in
the prefs, nothing happens. No dialog opens, no error message shown.
I tried to switch to deselect the encrypt password option, thereby going to
"obscure". When I try that, I receive an error message, that converting did not
succeed.
I believe password manager is no longer able to decrypt its storage of password.
I think I still have the required certificates.
I'm sure that I still know my master password, because I'm still able to use all
certificates, as I'm doing SSL client auth and secure email.
I realize that there is nowhere a preference to configure, which certificate
should be used for password manager data encryption.
I wonder whether the fact that I have multiple certificates, and some of them
are meanwhile expired, causes password manager to be unable to decrypt the data.

No reply to me question in comment 1 for over two months. I'm not able to
reproduce.
This sounds like a duplicate of bug 132323.

I was playing with this more. I don't think it is a duplicate of 132323.
Because I did not find this bug earlier today, I filed new bugs.
What I see is bug 155898.
