@reporter: Does this problem exists in newer builds?

Comment 3

[Vidar Haarr (not reading bugmail)]

WFM on WinXP SP1 trunk 2003081515.

Reporter: if you can reproduce this using a recent nightly build from
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/>, please say so. If not,
this bug will be closed down as WFM. Thanks !
Also; make sure that you have a clean profile, and a fresh installation. Do not
install Mozilla on top of an old build.

That kind of defeats the purpose. A totally new profile does not get me access 
to my password file.  I must start from scratch.  You can't come up with a 
better solution?  And by the way, it duplicates itself in Firebird.
