Ok, minor problem, I disconnect. Then I give the second twitter account username and password. The registration fail with error "username incorrect" :-( . Note that for twitter the application is correctly registred in the second account.

*** Original post on bio 875 at 2011-09-16 08:53:29 UTC *** Unfortunately, while double checking with a nightly (I was wondering if it could be one of these annoying issues that work fine in debug builds and fail in optimized builds), I found the steps to reproduce.

*** Original post on bio 875 at 2011-09-16 08:56:00 UTC *** Steps to reproduce: - configure a first twitter account and connect it. - configure a second twitter account. When attempting to connect it, the OAuth dialog opens without login/password fields, just the "authorize" button. Clicking it authorizes instantbird for the first twitter account. Note: restarting Instantbird before connecting the second account doesn't cause this problem, so I suspect the issue is caused by a session cookie.

If there's an issue we'll have to relook at this. For future reference, if we ever want to go that route, there's some example code here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/preferences/aboutPermissions.js#212 (the "get cookies()" getter and "clearCookies" method).

*** Original post on bio 875 at 2011-10-03 21:28:35 UTC *** I've just pushed https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/9b7b79505301 which will make the OAuth dialog pop-up again for accounts that don't have a valid OAuth token (either because of this bug or because the user has revoked the token from the twitter web UI). This should help people fix accounts that have been affected by this bug; if there are still any :-).
