222955 - When loading Firebird, it seems to forget my proxy server login.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 218927

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Colin Willey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I have setup Firebird to connect to the internet through a proxy server, and
provided the username and password. When browsing on v0.61, this remained fine,
and it remembered my details so I did not have toi enter them again. However,
after moving to v0.7, it now asks me for the proxy login and password every time
I start firebird. (The fields are already correctly filled in, but the
'remember' box is not ticked, however many times I tell it to!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup firebird to use proxy server to access the internet
2. Save settings and close Firebird
3. Start Firebird, checking login details and ticking the 'remember' box
4. Browsing now works OK
5. Close Firebird
6. Start up again, and it prompts for saving login and password again.

Actual Results:  
Firebird prompts asking me the login details.

Expected Results:  
Settings should be saved in configuration as it says it will.

Although not relevant to the bug, I must just say well done so far on an
excellent browser - I await version 1.0 of Firebird and Thunderbird, which also
promises to be an excellent MS product killer!
