User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5 Build Identifier: 0.1.28 I normally clear private data on exiting FF without prompting. If I set saved passwords to be cleared, the login details for Weave are removed and it can't automatically login when I start FF again. This is contrary to the behaviour I am used to with add-ons such as Google Browser Sync which stores its login details separately. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set FF to always clear Private Data when it is closed. 2. Set Saved Passwords to be cleared. Expected Results: When I performed the above steps, Weave couldn't login when FF was restarted. Weave should either store the passwords separately from the saved passwords system or warn the user that their options prevent the login details from being saved.
Severity: normal → minor
Targeting for 0.2. We should warn the user somehow, or gray out the option to auto-sync in that case.

As per resolution of bug #428818, the login dialog will appear again if there is a failure, thereby prompting the user for the password again.
