I like to use the same userdata on my Mac Firefox like on a Windows box. I
copied  the userprofile to the conderning Mac directory. Nearly all worked fine.
:) But Firefox/Mac is not able to read the password and form files *.w and *.s.
I tried it some times but allways with an empty Password Manager.

BTW: This worked fine doing the same with Win->Linux.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Empty Password Manager.

Expected Results:  
With all existing passwords filled Password Manager.

From Win2k to MacOS X 10.4.1

The problem described in this bug shouldn't exist any more, as the password manager stores all its info in signons2.txt and key3.db. The old .s files in SeaMonkey/Suite profiles should be handled by the profile migration code. Copying signons2.txt/key3.db between profiles on different computers should work just fine.
