When comparing the pref panels "privacy / passwords" in Firefox and Thunderbird, it is confusing that both panels look mostly identical, but both contain one checkbox (only), with different wording, which indeed have different meaning.

Mozilla/SeaMonkey have two checkboxes, which both make sense for both Firefox and Seamonkey.

Firefox has a checkbox to toggle "remember passwords".
Thunderbird has a checkbox to toggle "use encryption when storing passwords".

This bug suggests that both pref panels should be consistent.


The checkbox "use a master password to encrypt" should be added to Firefox.
See also bug 326173 for the corresponding change to Thunderbird.
