I use weave on a PC on which I don't want to store any passwords, but don't mind storing my bookmarks for convenience.
So I set up firefox to always clear everything on close, including passwords.
This leads to 2 annoying problems:
1) My weave account name remains stored.
2) Whenever I want to connect to weave to sync my bookmarks, I get a red "Unknown error" message in the weave preferences tab.
The only way to get around it is to click "Use a different account" with a scary message about "losing all your data".
I suppose the right thing to do might be to use my own profile with a master password and create a special launcher for it or always ask for profile selection (I don't know how to do that yet, but I suppose it is possible).
But I really don't see why it doesn't just:
1) Ask for my pasword+passphrase
or
2) Forget my account name, the same way it forgets all stored login names (when clearing passwords)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install weave
2.Set Firefox to clear everything including passwords on close
3.Restart firefox
4.Try to connect to weave
Actual Results:
Red "Unknown error" message
Expected Results:
1) Ask for my pasword+passphrase
or
2) Forget my account name, the same way it forgets all stored login names (when clearing passwords). Then ask for login+password when trying to connect.
