User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.23 (20090812) In the "Identity Settings" dialog, on the "Composition & Addressing" tab, there is a setting for signature placement. When changing the setting to "below my reply (above the quote)", the setting is not saved. Closing the dialog and reopening it, shows the setting reverted back to the default ("below the quote"). This only occurs for *secondary identities* added to the primary account identity. Changing the setting for the primary account identity seems to work ok. I have identified the setting in prefs.js which is not being saved properly: user_pref("mail.identity.id[x].sig_bottom", false); - where "[x]" is the id number of a secondary identity. Changing the line above manually in the prefs.js file, saving the file, then starting TB results in the setting being recognised and applied correctly. So it seems the problem is simply that TB is not saving the setting to the file. Again, this is only for secondary identities added to an account. See also http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1550545 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open "Identity Settings" dialog, add a secondary identity. On the "Composition & Addressing" tab, change signature placement to "below my reply (above the quote)". 2. Close Identity Settings dialog. 3. Reopen dialog, check the signature placement setting, see that it has reverted to the default setting ("below the quote"). Actual Results: Signature placement setting is not saved to the prefs.js file. Expected Results: Signature placement setting should be saved to the prefs.js file.
This WFM in Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5pre) Gecko/20091021 Shredder/3.0pre. Do you also have the issue in -safe-mode ? Anything in Tools -> Error console, when you do the steps ?
Version: unspecified → 2.0
Hi. Yep, same behaviour in safe mode. Nothing comes up in error console at any time while playing with it.
Aureliano is it WFM in XP too ?

(In reply to comment #4) > probably it only 2.x related. I cannot reproduce also in TB 2.x...
That has been fixed in 3.0 quite a while ago already, but for some reason wasn't ported back to 2.0 (only applies in the Manage Identities dialog).
