Error dialog after trying to reload pages

I also get this error dialog when going back to bugzilla and the mozilla wiki and cannot re-login in to these sites.

Could bug 479941 be related to this as well?

Interesting re: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479941#c7, since right before the Password Manager run I was testing Cookies, and had my start page set to about:blank.

Can you try reproducing this with debug logging enabled? https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Password_Manager_Debugging

It should be logging some more things before failing, which will narrow down what might be causing this.

I think I may have narrowed down what is causing this.  I went back to the horked profile and disabled FIPs, and the sites that were problematic to load were then fine. I then followed these STR and was able to get in a horked state again:

1. Enable a master password and then enable FIPS (FIPS requires a Master Password)
2. Reset the Master password using chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul command.
3. Receive errors such as The operation failed because the PKCS#11 token is not logged in.

(Error code: sec_error_token_not_logged_in)

As I said, if I then go in and disable FIPs then there is no issue with the sites having trouble loading.

Similar steps I tried:
1. Installed Shiretoko nightly
2. Turned on PM logging in the console, and restarted
3. Opened the Error Console
4. Set a master password
5. Enabled FIPS
6. Reset master password using chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul

You will see this in the All tab:
Login Manager: Initialization of storage component failed: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPK11Token.initPassword]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Shiretoko/components/storage-mozStorage.js :: anonymous :: line 220"  data: no]

When I try to load https sites I get the page load error as in comment #1, and you'll see errors like the following in the Errors tab:

Error: this._storage is null
Source File: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Shiretoko/components/nsLoginManager.js

Different error dialog

I get the same error in Comment 5 when testing the Firefox 3.6 beta candidate. I did have a master password set as well as FIPS enabled. With a bunch of sites loaded including paypal, I entered private browsing mode. I then got the attached dialog.
