Ok - I submitted a formal bug on this at the 2.6.1 release, but it's
just happened again under SM 2.7.2 and it's about THE single most
annoying SM bug I can think of - prompt for Master Password when not
seemingly required. What is SM doing, and how do I STOP it?!?!?
When this happens during a download SM freezes and I have to Force Quit
SM and lose the entire session - and the download - and start over from
scratch. SM either needs to be fixed to ask for the Master in accord
with user Preference (like it once did...) OR is needs to be fixed so
that it doesn't hang and freeze if this happens.
This doesn't occur in Profiles in which I don't have a Master Password
set...but this has been broken since version 1.1.16 or thereabouts and
needs some *attention*! PUHLEEEEEEZEEEE!!!!!
I do not see this problem. I have the following in the user.js file in
my profile:
user_pref("signon.startup.prompt", false);
// don't ask for master password until it's used,
// bugs #338549 (fixed?), #560792 (not yet fixed), and #560793 (not
yet fixed)
The indicated status of those three bugs is as of 2 Feb.
I submitted bug 724296 - I submitted it against the Mac version, as
that's all I use. I can bear witness that the problem is *not* fixed,
and has remained consistently broken through a *long* series of releases
on the Mac.
My Preferences are set to only ask for the Master the first time it is
needed, and my Mail Prefs are set to not check for new mail manually.
Other than that the only thing I can think of is that SM is polling on
it's own...for what, I can't tell.
I can find no user.js file in my Profile folder...is a user.js file not
part of the Mac structure? I have a prefs.js file in my Profile(s) -
looking at that file using Text Edit I see:
for Passwords -
user_pref("security.password_lifetime", 90);
and -
user_pref("signon.startup.prompt", false);
for Mail -
user_pref("mail.server.server1.check_new_mail", false);
...and yet I *still* see this problem. *Every* session!
