269353 - Password Manager throws exception when removing passwords

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Thomas Bukowski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When removing passwords from the Saved Passwords dialog, Firefox throws this:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPasswordManager.removeUser]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.js :: FinalizeSignonDeletions ::
line 263"  data: no]

This appears to be specifically for passwords with a domain name that contains a
port number (i.e. 80) - but this is not verified.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site and get Firefox to save your username/password (optionally, add
a :80 to get a port number on the site you visit)
2. Tools -> Options ->  Privacy -> Saved Passwords -> View Saved Passwords
3. Select the newly saved password and click remove.

Actual Results:  
Firefox throws the mentioned error. Passwords are not cleared.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have cleared the passwords. 

- This error is -not- thrown when you press 'Clear' outside of the Password
Manager dialog; however, passwords are not cleared.
- This error is thrown using either the remove all or remove buttons.
