Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0~rc2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Login/password are no longer filled in automatically for some sites with
Firefox 3. They don't show up in show passwords either.
If I downgrade to Firefox 2 the passwords are automatically filled in again.
I set severity to grave because passwords are lost during conversion.
However I don't need to restore them from backups, the original file is still
there,
so downgrading to Firefox 2 allows me to use them.
Comparing signons3.txt with signons2.txt I see that 8 sites are missing, for
example:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org
http://sourceforge.net
http://sourceware.org
https://www.securecoding.cert.org
...
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a login on one of the example sites above
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org) using Firefox 2
2. Verify that Firefox 2 fills in login/password automatically
2. Install Firefox 3
3. Go to https://bugs.freedesktop.org
Actual Results:
login/password in not filled in automatically
login/password for site is not in show passwords list.
Expected Results:
login/password to be filled in automatically, and available in show passwords
list
I can't show you the contents of signons2.txt since its not encrypted, but here
is the portion without the password (replaced with ), #2d is at the
beginning of the file:
#2d
http://localhost:8080
https://www.google.com
.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org
Bugzilla_login
ME
*Bugzilla_password
MD
https://bugs.freedesktop.org
.
http://ac.ahost.ro
This entry is completely missing from signons3.txt:
#2e
http://localhost:8080
https://www.google.com
http://192.168.0.1
.
http://ac.ahost.ro
This command shows 8 missing hosts, maybe you could run a sanity check after
converting the passwords to check that all have been converted?
$ grep http signons2.txt |sort -u list2
$ grep http signons3.txt |sort -u list3
$ diff -w list2 list3|diffstat

[the insertions are because I registered on this bugzilla, and another one in
the meantime]
Since passwords are lost in the conversion, I set the severity to critical:
causes you to lose data.
The data isn't actually lost, downgrading to Firefox 2 still allows me to use
it.
