531831 - User/pwd for RSS Accounts asked each time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 267203

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 (CK-IBM) Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091112 Thunderbird/3.0

I am accessing to a RRS Account protected with user/pwd.
When I configure the feed, I am asked for the user/pwd and I select the check box to use Password Manager to remember this password.

But each time I restart Thunderbird, I am asked for the user/pwd of this account although it is true that the user and password appear filled. My understanding is that this should work as it does with NNTP servers where internally the user/pwd saved is used whiteout asking again and again to the user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a user/pwd at http://www.jazz.net (it doesn't require any special step).
2. Subscribe to this RSS Feed: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/WebRss
3. You will be asked for a user/pwd.
4. Check the box to use Password Manager to store it.
5. Exit and come back to Thunderbird. Select the RSS feed added before and get messages. You will be asked for the user/pwd.

Note: you won't be asked for it anymore during the session but if you exit and come back to Thunderbird you will be asked again the first time.

What are the error messages that you see in Tools -> Error console ?
