If by "Remove the master password" you meant that you went to [Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Master Password] and then selected the Reset Password button, yes you lose all your stored passwords. That is what the text says under Reset Master Password. I was able to keep my stored passwords by exporting them via the Export Passwords extension with my old version of SeaMonkey, then resetting my master password. I then installed 2.35y, set my master password, and then imported the exported passwords, again via the Export Passwords extension. The only extension that I removed was the Remember Passwords extension; all my other extensions -- including Export Passwords, Show Password On Input (for my master password), and Show my Password (for login passwords) -- remained enabled from my old profiles. -- David E.
