Description Christian Persch 2006-08-26 17:05:10 UTC 
Using xulrunner trunk, the stored passwords aren't read (and newly added passwords not persisted to disk).
This is because of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327005 . We do set the prefs ourself, but the password mgr starts up on app-startup notification which is *before* we can read our own prefs.

This might also be the cause of missing passwords using ff 1.8 branch (if the filename is != the default 'signons.txt')?

I can confirm this bug, and we have an issue in Foresight Linux (Issue FL-577, http://issues.foresightlinux.org/browse/FL-577) relating to this.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2007-10-10 18:28:01 UTC 
*IF* it's the same issue, the fix would simply be to include those prefs in your Xulrunner package's all.js prefs file.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2008-01-13 11:25:26 UTC 
FWIW, the latest ubuntu has epiphany built with xulrunner, and I don't have any password anymore. So you might get bug reports about this... I've opened a bug in launchpad to update the prefs file.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2008-01-13 12:59:04 UTC 
Vincent: that won't work; those prefs are obsolete now. The reason it doesn't show the passwords is bug 438909 (and also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408791 ).
