Description

[Øyvind Sørbye]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.54 (Windows NT 5.1; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

I'm trying to disable password manager with the preference user_pref("wallet.
enabled", false);, I have tried to enter this preference in prefs.js or user.js. 
I have also tried to put it in all-thunderbird in the default\pref-folder. But 
TB still asks the user to remember his or hers password.
  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close TB
2. Edit prefs.js with the string user_pref("wallet.enabled", false);
3. Start TB

Actual Results:  
TB still ask "Use Password manager to remember this password."

Expected Results:  
Disabled the password manager

We found another way to disable password manager, after som digging: There are 
two ways:

1. Insert into prefs.js:
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);

2 Or edit the file en-US-mail.jar and leave the options blank at these entries:

SaveThisPasswordObscured=
SaveThisPasswordEncrypted =
