After upgrading to FF 3.0.3-de I can not access my stored password in password manager or use them on a website. I had secured the password manager wit a master password. When entering a site I had stored a password for, i get asked for my master password but after that the login form is not automatically filled.

The password manager is completely empty, no stored sites or passwords (see given URL)

I am not sure if I upgraded from FF 3.0.1-de to FF 3.0.3-de or from FF 3.0.2-de to FF 3.0.3-de


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a master password in FF 3.0.1-de
2. Store passwords in FF 3.0.1-de for www.example.org
3. Upgrade to FF 3.0.3-de
4. goto www.example.org and you are not able to use the stored password
5. goto password manager an you can not access stored passwords
Actual Results:  
can not access old stored passwords (is the data lost?)

Expected Results:  
can access old stored passwords

I am not sure if I upgraded from FF 3.0.1 to FF 3.0.3 or from FF 3.0.2 to FF 3.0.3

I have password or usernames with german "special" symbols in it like ü ä ö ß and so on

Likely a duplicate of bug 457358. Can you try saving a new password (doesn't matter for which site) and then restarting Firefox to see if that fixes it?

Yes, that fixed the problem. Thx a lot and sorry for the duplicate bug entry.
