Weird firefox behaviour...

Hi all,

I have a few problems with firefox and was just wondering if anyone has a fix for them...

1) When firefox asks me to remember a password, it does so twice.

2) Firefox seems to forget all my passwords/details almost daily!

It's starting to get annoying, i've done a search and come up with nothing...

cheers.

This is another confirmation of your problem without any suggestions:

I am having the same issue, though mine does not forget my passwords. Anyone with any ideas would be a great help to all of us!

I think the first question is if you want to remember the password for that username and the second is if you want to remember that username and password for that form or something. =)

Me too! (I hate the double prompt.. so I disabled the feature all-togethor, but I rather like using it when it doesn't annoy me.)

Yep, I get the double-prompt too. SUPER annoying, firebird didn't do this. Also, when I press the "View Saved Passwords" button in the prefs, nothing happens. This is also super annoying. However, a bug-free firefox will be the best browser ever.

OH... and may I add that it crashes randomly when I go to certain websites?
For example http://www.northropgrummanit.com crashes firefox consistently.

Might be a cflags thing. I use konq wherever I can because it's faster and doesn't leak mem like firefox. But konq seems the more crash prone of the two for me. I've even had it crash twice submitting a post in these forums. I' didn't have firebird crash much and I haven't managed to crash firefox yet. But I haven't been using firefox all that much lately.

do you mind posting your cflags? mine are:
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

I've got CFLAGS='-march=athlon-xp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe'

But the ebiuild filters out -fomit-frame-pointer and knocks -O3 down to -O2 so we have basically the same thing. I'm using the gtk2 version as well but that's the default now.
