1459458 - Firefox does not store login/pw anymore for Roundcubemail

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Logins, Passwords and Form Fill, defect)

Description

[Michael]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 6.0; Mobile; rv:59.0) Gecko/59.0 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180323154952

Steps to reproduce:

Roundcubemail 1.3.6 on Opensuse 42.3

Using both Firefox on Android and Roundcubemail for years now. Several credentials saved for roundcubemail in Firefox, secured by master pw.




Actual results:

 Currently Firefox on Android
a) does not offer existing credentials
b) does not ask to store new credentials





Expected results:

Firefox should store credentials, as before. And as usual, e.g. for this site, bugzilla.mozilla.org, works fine.

Not sure since when this problem appeared. Maybe not a Firefox issue, maybe an issue of roundcubemail. If so, hints would be great.

Is the Roundcube instance you're using behind SSL, i.e. served on https:// instead of http://?

Comment 2

[Michael]

Yes, it's behind SSL. Of course, I would like to say, as it's all on my own VPS :-)

FYI it always has been SSL, so the already stored credentials are also stored during a secured connection

Comment 3

OK, so that rules out insecure websites being ignored.

Can you inspect the input elements for user and password, and see if they have autocomplete="off"?

That wouldn't explain why it changed behavior all of a sudden, given that this setting is 5 years old.

If you might want to take a look at my comment for this issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1387384#c9 where I've mentioned that I've used APK Editor to get a Firefox APK which allows Firefox to be moved to Adoptable Storage. 

For this unfortunately I've had to reinstall Firefox completely, and all my bookmarks and credentials are also dropped.

After the reinstall, now again ALL my credentials for my roundcubemail site are stored and updated as before, as they should.

So this issue can be closed.

Last question: I've made my mentioned comment to bug 1387384 eight days ago, not a single response. From other bugzilla like OpenSuse, KDE etc. I know, that there's functionality to reopen a bug if needed. Not so for Mozilla. Could it be that nobody is reading comments / answers to closed issues? Or do I have to be more patient :-) ?

Thanks, marking as WORKSFORME based on comment 4.

A bug can be reopened, but you need edit bug permissions. Indeed, commenting in a closed bug doesn't have a lot of visibility.

Having said that, note that the bug in question has been closed as INVALID by one of the engineers responsible for that product, so reopening it wouldn't really be OK ;-)
