Seen using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040204 Minefield/3.0pre

STR:
1. Login in to Gmail account
2. Don't press the remember button right away
3. Go back some time later, it is still there and press the button
4. Get this error in Console: Error: [Exception... "'Couldn't write to file, login not added.' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::addLogin]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///Users/marcia/Desktop/LatestTrunk/Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 378"  data: no]

The remember bar also seems to show in every other tab I am in. Using fresh profile.

Shoot, i reproduced this problem on the beta 5 build, windows XP

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

STR: 
1) go to bugzilla.mozilla.org
2) login to your credentials
3) when the password popdown appears, click "Remember"
4) Verify the dialog doesn't go away, and 3 errors are thrown:

Error: [Exception...

I also cleared private data first.   perhaps this is related?

Comment 3

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Here are exact STR:

1. Fresh profile.
2. Login to a Gmail Account and save your Password by clicking Remember.
3. Clear Private Data. I have Browsing History, Saved Form History, Cache and Authenticated Sessions checked.
4. Login in to different Gmail account or another site that requires a password.
5. Click the remember button

You will receive the error in Comment 0 in the error console as well as see that PM info bar on all subsequent pages, and you will not be able to Remember the password since the button will not work.

This is bug 400238.

Thanks for the STR, because this has been tricky to pin down.
