User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070222 SeaMonkey/1.1.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070222 SeaMonkey/1.1.1 I reported this under a prior Seamonkey version. Now v 1.1.1 --- and now it has made a reappearance: Entries made by or for Gmail Notifier (plugin or addon) go into Password Manager and subsequently cannot be removed. There is a duplicate entry for each time the Notifier is invoked, == "chrome://gm-notifier/". None of them can be removed. This first became apparent shortly after importing /exporting of "Bookmarks" files. (Same as in previous experience with earlier Seamonkey version) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Gmail Notifier - it will work ok I think 2. Import and/or Export and/or reload a Bookmarks.html 3. Repeat step 1, and now every time step 1 is done, an additional UNREMOVABLE Password Manager entry will be added to the Password Manager's data base. Actual Results: See above. I'm not certain exactly when it began screwing up, but I had been recently cleaning up my Bookmarks in-part by exporting / using IE6 on them / then importing back into Seamonkey. This is how it happened before also. Expected Results: Password Database entries should be removable. The Notifier is buggy too, but that does not excuse Seamonkey from retaining multiple identical entries. Later the same day, after an obviously corrupted Error Message, the Bookmarking capabilities broke down completely. Now I am unable to open a GROUP of tabs, nor am I able to create NEW group-of-tabs. UNLESS I change "Preferences" to "Add Tabs" instead of "Replace Existing Tabs" (which I have always used no-problemo in the past). And "Add Tabs" is broken too: my tab-group has 4 entries. Seamonkey opens 5-7 tabs when I click it, 2-3 of the tabs empty. NOTE: In this same timeframe ALL my Bookmarks "disappeared". I subsequently found a BOOKMARKS.HTM (no "L") in the DEFAULT\*.SLT directory, and a BOOKMARKS.HTML completely empty except for the Title. (Note: I was rebooting between each and every step). I subsequently deleted the .html and renamed the htm -> html,,, and got my Bookmarks back,,, but still no functional bookmark GROUPS. Arrgh! All of this just started --- just about a month after installing the new 1.1.1 --- and it took me most of that month FINDING and installing the plugins/addons I wanted. NJow I have to start over. UNacceptable. There needs to be a way to "repair" screwups like this, that won't also require complete reload addons / plugins.
Please file one bug per issue. Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPasswordManager.removeUser] Source file: chrome://communicator/content/wallet/SignonViewer.js Line: 405
Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?
Version: unspecified → SeaMonkey 1.1 Branch
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14pre) Gecko/20080324 SeaMonkey/1.1.10pre Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPasswordManager.removeUser] Source file: chrome://communicator/content/wallet/SignonViewer.js Line: 405 Serge, the code hasn't changed.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Probably failing somewhere in si_RemoveUser() http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/wallet/src/singsign.cpp#946 dveditz: Any clues?
Also on trunk as expected since the wallet code hasn't changed. I expect that on trunk it's a WONTFIX given the pending move to satchel but might still be valid on branch under the SECURITY and stability criteria.

No clue. Could you attach a snippet of your wallet file that includes some of the repeated entries that cannot be deleted? Please pick sites where you don't mind changing the password after attaching the list (even if you use a Master Password, password crackers always get faster and leaving stuff here in a bug for an indefinite period is just inviting someone to try). Better: sign up at some site you don't care about with a random junk password and use that.

(In reply to comment 6) > Could you attach a snippet of your wallet file that includes some of > the repeated entries that cannot be deleted? Attached is a snippet with duplicate entries. The user/password is from a throw away gmail account I opened to test something and never used ever again. But you don't have to use this, just take any entry in your *.s file and use a text editor's cut and paste function to duplicate several times - actually this is what I did when I tested on SeaMonkey trunk. The identical error on branch is from my regular gmail account which I am not attaching of course.
