Probably TB has common mechanism with Firefox. I'm suffering from this "feature" all the time (in Windows though). At office I'm behind the corporate firewall that requires proxy authentication. I guess, they are using 2 levels of protection (not sure, it is indicated in authentication dialog as "realm"). I keep my proxy user name and password for both realms in FF, protected by master password. From time to time suddenly authentication dialog pops up, though FF worked fine the whole day long. If at this time I'll look into the list of stored passwords, I see that the password is removed there and I have to type it in again. If I'm not at my desk, I often find 20-30 authentication request dialogs... In your case you at least know why password fails (smpt timeout). I guess that in my case it could be some racing (I have gmail and some news site opened, weather plugin, and they "push" the content), but not sure how to find out the reason. I would definitely prefer FF not to decide by itself why authentication failed and let me chose how to continue. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
