Eric, you're right, this bug actually has a split personality for me. 1. Saved passwords are not getting automatically used 2. Some (exact criteria unknown) login and password combos are not getting saved at all, despite repeated form fills (comment 67)
They may or may not have the same underlying mechanism responsible. Pointers to more related bugs are welcome here. SPE addon fixes scenario 2, which is even worse, because you have to manually copy/paste from another password db like KeePass on every Thunderbird startup. But yes, I still have to "Enter" key currently through 4 authentication prompts, an amount which can only increase. Still, thanks to SPE, my life is incrementally better now and I can focus on looking for a solution to scenario 1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222208 Title: user-id and password not sent automatically for rss-feed Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird This is a bug I have seen for quite some time. I am in the "make hardy the best release there ever was"-mood today and have brought myself to really reporting every single bit of problem I have put off for so long so somebody with the needed skills has a chance to fix it. I subscribe to an RSS feed hosted on a password-protected https-site in Thunderbird. TB works fine but periodically asks me for the password although I have marked "save password with password manager" in the dialog. In fact, the necessary fields are displayed filled in, but the pop-up comes back to me from time to time and I have to hit the OK button. I have set up a test installation which is exactly the same as the one I am having problems with at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/. The ssl-certificate is from cacert.org, so your browser might throw that up at first. The user you need to get in is tb-tester and the password is launchpad. The RSS feed is at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss When you susbscribe to that in TB and save the login credentials, you should have TB nagging you from time to time to with a login screen.
