Wouldn't most e-mail clients like the Icedove package too have a similar problem related to saving the password or is the security different? It's possible to save e-mail account passwords on Icedove without any security other than your user password to enter the system
They do share some weak points in security, some can be addressed by encrypting your machine disk (available at the installation setup), using password authentication to start session, enable a master password usage on Icedove, even go further en use GPG encryption on every single message and basically don't leave your machine unattended.
But the main difference is that Icedove /Thunderbird don't pretend to save passwords for all the possible accounts available on the internet, nor addresses / credit card information. There are better tools for such task, tools that comply with better security standards and policies.
This doesn't mean that the feature to save passwords in Abrowser / Firefox is being removed, just not enabled. You can enable it back if you already use it, maybe take into account the recommendations above and check what else can be added to harden your setup.
I hope that helped clear things up. Regards. -- Cuanto más gente resista, más gente va a ser Libre, y más gente va a ser libre para ser Libre. Por tu propio bien, y en solidaridad a todos, elige la libertad. ¡Sé Libre! http://fsfla.org/selibre/ Luis A. Guzmán G. http://ark.switnet.org
