1238130 - saved logins/passwords not shown

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Markus Wernig]

Attachment: saved-passwords-empty.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20160102021941

Steps to reproduce:

1) Got to about:preferences#security (Preferences->Security)
2) Click on "Saved Logins"

The platform is amd64 Linux (Gentoo).


Actual results:

A login/password list is displayed that does not contain any entries. The search box is active, but does not yield any results (see attachment).

Using the same profile with 31.8 ESR, all my stored logins (well over 100) show up.

The problem is reproducible with different profiles.




Expected results:

All my stored logins (well over 100) should show up.

When accessing a site for which a login is stored, the master password is prompted and the username/password ARE filled in, so the store itself seems ok (logins.json also looks good). It seems that just the list in the password manager is broken.

The problem only appears when building FF from source (Gentoo Linux ebuild).
The x86_64 43.0.4 build from mozilla.org does not show the problem.

The problem does not appear if FF is build with --with-system-icu.

These reports you have filled belong down stream in gentoo. If an upstream bug is needed, one of the gentoo mozilla project members will either ask you to file one upstream or open one. Please do not go around the gentoo for an issue you can not duplicate with the -bin package provided from upstream.

Yes, sorry about that. I realized only later that it might be a compile-time problem. 
I've also reported the issue in gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571344

This is caused to how gentoo handles the intl-api, I am adjust the build down stream nothing for mozilla to do here.
