247520 - Saved proxy password cannot be reset when Windows password is changed.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236746

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[backspace]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8

When I first installed Firefox, I had to configure it to use our proxy server. 
I had Firefox remember my windows password so that I wouldn't have to retype it
every time I launched Firefox.  Now that I've changed my password in accordance
with our password policies, I can't get Firefox to forget the old password and
store the new one.  I tried launching, typing the password and unchecking the
"Remember password" checkbox, then  closing and relaunching Firefox, typing the
new password and re-checking the "Remember password" checkbox.  It's frustrating
enough that I have to click ok every time that I launch Firefox, but now I have
to retype my password.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Launch Firefox
2.  Configure proxy
3.  Close Firefox
4.  Launch Firefox
5.  Enter proxy details and check the "Remember" checkbox
6.  Close Firefox
7.  Change windows password
8.  Launch Firefox

Actual Results:  
It won't overwrite the previously saved password.

Expected Results:  
It should save my new proxy credentials
