Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

If I show my saved passwords and attempt to delete one the following error shows up in hte console 3 times. The entry appears to disappear but closing and reopening the password list shows that it is still there.

Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsISecretDecoderRing.encryptString]

I get a similar error (also 3x) when trying to delete logins from the autocomplete dropdown in a login field.

Error: [Exception... "'No logins found for hostname (null)' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::removeLogin]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///I:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 411"  data: no]

dolske, can you update status here?

Comment 5

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

I suspect this is mostly fixed now... IIRC the problem was largely due to a combination of a corrupted signons.txt and how we preemptively decrypted passwords prior to bug 381164 being fixed. I want to verify that and look at any other creative ways to break this. Bug 386005 also fixed a problem touched on here.

Works for me on latest trunk build.
