I say probably because I only know of two uses in SeaMonkey 1.x: 1. It was used to protect client certificates (e.g. S/MIME personal certificates) 2. There was a preference that could use it to encrypt your passwords. This preference was disabled by default.

If you see this in the -RC versions ignore the rest of this. - it happens once and only once after each update - everyone in Seamonkey-land is up to their ass in -RC bugs - there are other issues in dailies, I have a few I'll report when the release goes out Since I went to the RC2build3 version to be more helpful, I haven't seen this in Linux, it may be new or limited to other OS.

If I have a chance later today I'll repeat my test on the Win2KPro machine & see if: 1) I can recreate, and 2) I can possibly trap the occurrence.

Phillip, I hadn't experienced this previously, so on a test VirtualBox install w/Win2KPro (where I had 1.1.18 and 2.0(multilple versions) working correctly I: 1. Uninstalled _all_ instances of SM using the standard Windows control panel method. 2. I then installed 1.1.18 & it brought up my previous profile defaults (including email) & seems to be working fine. 3. I then installed 2.0rc2, and when it first came up I also could not enter my MP (including in the Edit|Preferences...). Very odd. 4. I then closed SM (2.0rc2) and reopened and it then allowed me to enter the MP at the first MP prompt. I closed and restarted SM 2.0rc2 multiple times afterwards and could not reproduce. I also restarted Win2KPro, brought up SM 2.0rc2 and again could not reproduce. Are you still experiencing this problem? Yes each time an update to a new version occurs its dead. Until I cancel two or three times. Once its opened and Password accepted the first time each time after that when opened it works, Except if the focus is lost (say something updates on computer its dead ( what I mean by this I have a stock widget that updates readings every ten minutes (Yahoo widgets) if it happens to up date at the same time That will make the password window go dead and I will have to cancel , bounces back and becomes active. For Most folks this will not be an issue but on Occasion I travel with this computer. And I don't want anyone to open up SeaMonkey but me. -- Phillip M.
