When I go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Saved Passwords and click on the View Saved Passwords button, the view saved passwords window should open. But nothing happens. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Inside Firefox, click on Tools -> Options -> Privacy 2. Expand the Saved Passwords section 3. Click on the "View Saved Passwords" button that appears Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: It should have opened the View Saved Passwords window Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040415 Firefox/0.8
Note: A friend using Gentoo & Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040328 Firefox/0.8 is able to open the View Saved Passwords window.
But i have got the same Problem on two Gentoo machines. I've tryed several themes to point out this does not cause the problem (i didn't knew if it could but...) iam a gnome 2.4 user
heres my Version of Mozilla firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040416 Firefox/0.8 #emerge -p mozilla-firefox These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-0.8-r2
update, i have just updated to the new release - but the problem remains! # emerge -p mozilla-firefox These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

I get the same problem, on my desktop. On my desktop I run ~x86 vanalla kernel 2.6.6 x.org and fluxbox. On my laptop I do not get this problem, there I run all of the same stuff but instead of running fluxbox I run KDE. Could the wm be the problem? Im waiting to see if firefox 0.9 will fix the problem.
If it's the WM, then it's both Gnome 2.6 & XFCE4 for me.
I just downloaded Firefox 0.9 beta from mozilla.org and installed it as a user in my home dir. I did not have that problem with it. Try that out its a pretty fast dl(less then 30sec on cable).
I have the same problem here, both with current firefox (0.9) and with the previous version. I run enlightenment 0.16 pre4.
I've updated the firefox via portage and version 0.9.1 still has the problem. I've also tried unmerging & re-merging the package.
Added to CC list. I'm experiencing the same problem. I have net-www/mozilla-firefox-0.9.1 running and can't view my saved passwords. I also have an issue when prompted to save a new password the dialog box appears twice.
I've got the same bug, had it for a while (since i switched to firefox around the 0.8 release). I am now running mozilla-firefox-0.9.3, and the bug has been constant through every revision. The description of mine is the same as ben smith's: (1)can't view saved passwords (2)get a second popup when prompted if i want to store a password, which appears after i click my selection on the first popup.
I've just emerge'd the latest firefox (0.9.3-r1) after sticking "net-www/mozilla-firefox ~x86" into /etc/portage.package.keywords on a clean install and this bug is now fixed. I can view the stored passwords and am only prompted once to remember a password. It might be worth an upgrade on a clean .mozilla directory if you suffer this problem emerge -p mozilla-firefox These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-0.9.3-r1
Oops, typo: /etc/portage.package.keywords should be /etc/portage/package.keywords
Thanks for the tip, Ben. This is what I've done: 1) I unmerged my mozilla-firefox package 2) Emerged it with a: ACCEPT KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge mozilla-firefox 3) After it was done, renamed my /home/kristy/.mozilla to .mozilla-old 4) Opened my brand-new 0.9.3-r1 firefox, tried opening a site with a password and voila! it saved without asking me for my password twice :) Even better, I could open the "View Saved Passwords" window and see the password listed there. Unfortunately, I can't start "afresh" with Firefox right now because there are just waaay too many passwords to re-enter and I don't have the time. So, I copied the following files from my .mozilla-old to .mozilla - bookmarks.html - history.dat - formhistory.dat - key3.db - signons.txt - cookies.txt - prefs.js But now, with the old files in the new profile folder, even though it doesn't prompt for my passwords twice and the "View Saved Passwords" window opens, it doesn't list my old passwords in it nor does it list any new passwords that I save. With any hope, maybe 1.0 will be able to have everything working :)
typo :) it should be: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge mozilla-firefox
