That add-on mentions that it may not work on some sites (?) and refers to further possible add-ons as solution.

(esp. from professionals and companies whose employees are relying on Thunderbird) solely for Thunderbird development. - They should never ever contemplate and discuss adding ads or anything related to ads as a means for fundraising again. - They should add annual (or so) tooltips (wikipedia style) to point out that fundraising started to finance further development. This is required in my opinion to raise awareness that software development and maintenance costs money.

11 years of not resolving this bug? Just close it then and be a man about it. My (horrible) solution is an AutoHotkey script which keeps feeding the password (stored in the AutoHotkey script) into the login dialog - and even that is a big pain because Thunderbird drops key events under heavy CPU load (and when it polls for new messages it is making heavy use of the CPU), so additional synchronization is necessary. Who knows how many people use a similar hack/solution - security-ad- absurdum forced by an 11 year old bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/08 Title: user-id and password not sent automatically for rss-feed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/08/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
