Re: Aw: Re: Password Manager workaround
Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:28:59 -0700, /David E. Ross/: On the other hand, I installed Remember Passwords 1.0.1 and tested it. With it disabled, some passwords were blocked and not saved. With it enabled, I have not yet encountered a failure to save passwords. It works even for split logins. The problem with split logins left is it doesn't automatically enable autocomplete and remembering of the username field, because there's no password field on the form to reliably detect this is an username field, therefore associate it with login details. It would be unwise to unconditionally enable autocomplete everywhere at least for stuff like CVV (Card Verification Value). In such cases one could manually opt-in to remember the username field value by means of remember password bookmarklet, or similar solution removing autocomplete=off from all forms/form fields. It would still require two manual actions, next - removing autocomplete=off again to enable to autocomplete of the username filed, then click in the field to insert the remembered value. While the Remember Passwords extension seems enough for traditional cases like username/password fields in one form, and for the lone password field on split logins, I wonder whether extensions like Secure Login [1] or QuickPasswords [2] don't provide more complete solution (haven't tried them myself yet) including handling of the lone username on split logins and dynamically generated forms - does anyone have experience with these?

After all, the legend is that lemmings follow each other off a cliff, into the ocean, and to their deaths. You mean Firefox will die just as Chrome has and SeaMonkey has before? Robert Kaiser From my long experience (30+ years) in software QA, the long-term cost of frequently churning out versions with new features and not merely bug-fixes will eventually either weaken necessary QA through shortcuts to meet schedules or else consume developer resources to the point of weakening the organization. It appears that frequent releases might already be driving away users who otherwise not only have to update the product but also find that needed extensions no longer work. Extensions constitute one of the major features of Mozilla-based applications. Today, the problem with extensions results from the fact that, like SeaMonkey itself, most extensions are developed as hobbies by volunteers who are not paid. With frequent new versions of Mozilla-based applications, extension developers find themselves in the same situation as the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, running as fast as they can just to stand still and having to run faster than they can to make progress -- while still having to earn a living. +1 I'm a fan of feature release followed by n (n=1) bug fix releases, so you get a usable version fairly often, like stability releases for the Linux kernel, that kind of thing. In other words, having versions the (majority of) users find better than the last stable version. Having people generally feel that your QA has vanished is particularly bad when doing volunteer work, since the only reward you get is people thinking you have produced something great. The fact that 2.2, with broken address book, was not considered a brown bag release and quickly followed by 2.2.1 indicates that quantity is more important than quality. If you never add names to your address book, 2.2 is fine. If you get 5-10 new addresses a day in Collected addresses and have to type them into the production AB by hand because you can't move them with drag and drop, it's worth the pain to fall back to an earlier (working) version, and disable automatic updates. I know SM uses some shared TBird code, the one person I know who uses TBird tells me address book is still broken in the nightly she tried. Sigh. I'm grateful for the work people do, but I think the whole Mozilla effort has lost its way. It feels as if Firefox is the only thing which still gets QA resources and fixes in a timely manner.

As far as the address book breakage is concerned: We could have done a minor version update for that if we had found the issue earlier (the breakage on the development branch, trunk, was known and much larger, but the release branch dd issue was unknown) *and* had a reviewed (!) fix in hand. The fix that I'm talking about has only been finished about a week ago, in time for SM 2.3, which is not too far off anymore (currently in beta), so releasing a 2.2.1 at this point doesn't make much sense.

As far as I remember some comment, it is not used anymore and all is in one place, places.sqlite. Thus such a file can maybe grow considerably. Not quite correct. SM 2.0.x still uses the bookmarks.html. One of the big changes in 2.1 was precisely moving bookmars into places.sqlite -- which enabled a number of new features, such as Sync and the new click-on-the-address-bar-icon method of bookmarking, similar to Firefox's star. Still, for a variety of reasons, Seamonkey keeps the ability of exporting the bookmarks to an html file automatically on shutdown. I don't recall right now if this option is enabled by default.

Or am I missing some setting or option? Do you mean something like delete after 30 days? Right-click on the account name in the left pane, choose Properties, and change each of those six accounts to what you prefer. Also, you can do this for specific folders, such as Inbox, Junk (mine is 3 days), or any other. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: SM 2.3 Changelog

Me too, but as I explained in some other post, we don't have much of a choice anymore for the most part. As far as the address book breakage is concerned: We could have done a minor version update for that if we had found the issue earlier (the breakage on the development branch, trunk, was known and much larger, but the release branch dd issue was unknown) *and* had a reviewed (!) fix in hand. The fix that I'm talking about has only been finished about a week ago, in time for SM 2.3, which is not too far off anymore (currently in beta), so releasing a 2.2.1 at this point doesn't make much sense. The fact that 2.2, with broken address book, was not considered a brown bag release and quickly followed by 2.2.1 indicates that quantity is more important than quality. 2.2 was rushed, so much is true. I know SM uses some shared TBird code, the one person I know who uses TBird tells me address book is still broken in the nightly she tried. Sigh. I don't think that's true. The TB developers made a change that broke us (because we were missing a part on our side), not the other way around. I'm grateful for the work people do, but I think the whole Mozilla effort has lost its way. It feels as if Firefox is the only thing which still gets QA resources and fixes in a timely manner. 90% true. The other 10% is for TB. [Note: IMO] And IIRC the fixes in SM address book were rejected for TBird, so it would have to be maintained in SM long term. Again, I think you got something wrong there. Greetings, Jens Did they fix the export problems with addressbook? When I export a distrution list it exports the whole addressbook instead. It also drops some of the contacts and a blank field appears to to filled with the next field in order. -- Russ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

One of my major sites is adding stuff SM just does not see and I cannot afford to miss those things. There are some Web sites that not only sniff badly but also reject Firefox in the user agent (UA) string if SeaMonkey is also present. The bank I use has such a site. I disabled (unchecked the checkbox) for Advertise Firefox compatibility. For my bank's Web site, I use PrefBar to spoof Firefox without any mention of SeaMonkey. The Web sites for three other financial institutions where I have accounts accept SeaMonkey and don't require any spoofing at all. -- David E.
