1. Every time I start SeaMonkey v2.03, it asks for the master password
for the software security device. This is in spite of the fact that in
preferences->privacy & security->master passwords I have checked the
selection "SeaMonkey will ask for your master password the first time
it is needed". Surprisingly, if I click "cancel" on the password
dialog box without entering the password, SeaMonkey starts normally.
Although I apparently had entered a master password at some point with
SeaMonkey v1.18, the program wasn't asking me for it. How do I make
v2.03 stop asking me for the password? This is a VERY BIG PROBLEM for me.
If having to tap the ESC key at boot is your biggest problem, you lead a
dull existence. If you use a password you need to provide it. If you
think no one could hack your computer, just turn security off.
I've figured out a bit more of what is happening. The reason it asks for
the password on startup seems to be related to the fact that I had the
mail client set to check for new messages on startup. Even though I was
starting only the browser, and not the news/mail program, apparently it
was checking. After I turn this setting off, it no longer asks for the
password when I start the browser. However, it still requires the
password when I eventually go to read mail.
The problem with turning security off, (resetting the master password)
is that it deletes all of my stored passwords. There are a LOT of them,
and I don't want to have to re-enter all of them manually. If necessary,
I'll live with the master password, but I really don't like it. No one
else uses this computer so it's not required. I *hope* this annoying
situation will be fixed in the next release!
Thanks for your reply.
