i have set the password for my publish calendar, then when i type about:config

kennethl

Calendar was not supported on the 1.7 branch, the source is simply a snapshot of
whatever early version happened to be there when Mozilla 1.7 development branched.

Trunk versions use the password manager appropriately and do not store the
password in prefs.
