Eirik Romstad:
@Dave: thanks for tips and comments.  For private email (Gmail) I send via SMTP, for my work account (Microsoft) I send via the SMPT server provided by my workplace for non-win users.  In the saved passwords (under Options/Security) it appears that new passwords are not changed. I deleted the old smpt user for sending from Gmail, but it still did not ask me to use password manager to store the password when I just sent an email  I am hence a bit doubtful if going the profile manager route will solve the problem.  And by the way, for incoming emails it works (and passwords are updated).

Eirik Romstad:
@Dave: after reading some of the links you provided, I have also renamed the files key3.db and signons.sqlite (closed TB, did the change and restarted) as this is where passwords and signons apparently are stored.  Result:

* When checking for incoming email, the password manager emerged for both accounts and I entered the passwords again.  The passwords were properly stored
* When sending (from either account) I was asked to enter passwords and sending worked.  However, for the smpt-servers the passwords were not stored. (closing TB and starting it up again, and I was asked to reenter passwords for sending, but not for receiving)These results suggest that there is something wrong in the way TB treats passwords, and that making a new profile may not work either.  This is not a large problem, but as always, it is nice when a system is working 100% the way it should.

Hi Dave,

When installing latest Lighting in TB 31.8 or SM I get an error '... can modified file ...' ?

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,

Greggory

Dave Yeo:
@Eirek, the problem is that the profiles are somewhat fragile and that Firefox is moving so fast that the volunteer efforts such as TB and SM are having a hard time keeping up.
As I mentioned earlier, you could try saving the passwords with an older version. Might have to delete key.db and signons.sqlite again. There were cases in some of the articles where only a new profile cured the problem

@Greggory, this is usually a DLL conflict. Jan-Erik posted a script to fix in the Firefox 31.8.0 thread (untested here) or make sure that you don't have multiple libc06*.dlls installed.

Thanks Dave for the hard work !

I'm using 2.2 and uninstalled the libc & gcc wpi files (using yum) and works now !

One question though, do you know what klibccfg.dll is, it's in the Warpin database ?
