TB will not remember passwords!!!

I have been through all the suggested fixes, but TB does not remember the passwords to my email accounts.

  • The “Use Password Manager to remember the password” box does not appear in the “Enter Your Password” window.
  • I have edited the prefs.js file... added the following line... user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false); ... But the selection box still does not appear.
  • I have moved the following files: key3.db and signons.sqlite ... nothing changes.
  • I have reinstalled TB... nothing changes. It does implement a new instance of the key3.db and signons.sqlite files, but nothing changes.
  • There is nothing in the "Saved Passwords" window.

I am at a complete loss for what to do next... except to switch to another email client.

I quoted the line from my prefs.js incorrectly in my problem statement... it already has "true" in that line and the checkbox does not show. This is why I am perplexed.

Thanks for the reply. I went through all of the steps taken in the other post you suggested... sounds like an "instant replay" of my efforts. I've exhausted all the fixes suggested in the TB FAQs. I'll give your other suggestion about setting up another profile a try. I don't use any registry cleaners, like the fellow in the other post. More later...

Thanks, sfhowes! I defined a new profile and everything seems to work correctly... remembers passwords, etc. Apparently, something in my original profile got corrupted but, whatever it was, it didn't show up in any of the expected places. All it cost me was redefining my email accounts... not a bad price to pay. Thanks again... Warren
