Passwords are not saved
Posted: 2021-02-07, 07:10
Hello there,
I'm updated from 27.x to 29.0.0 today. In Win (at work and in a VirtualBox-Environment at home) everything is ok, so it seems to be a Linux problem).
The short version:
- no "Master password" possible
- no Import of exported PW possible (with palemoon-AddOn)
- tried to put login-information into sites by hand
- dialog "Save password?" pops up
- no Passwords are saved !?!?
Long story:
In my 16.04-Ubuntu I wanted to upgrade to pale moon 29.0. There are some reasons for me using this parallel to 20.04, but that's another story. 20.04 I didn't test yet. But even if that works it wouldn't help me. because I have to do that for a specific project in 16.04 (both LTS by the way).
First I tested with the "not-necessary-to-install-version". Everything works fine (Add-Ons. languge pack, bookmarks). "Saved passwords" were empty.
So I Installed the AddOn for my 27.x and exported Passwords. Then I installed the "really" new version with installer. At this point all was as "hoped and expected".
Installed the Password-Exp/Imp for 29.0 and tried to import the exported PW from above.
Red Text: 0/49 imported. "You didn't use a master passwort".
Master password: I'm not able to set one! "Error - Master password couldn't be changed" (Tried MANY times with restarts etc.)
Ok, not really nice but if he don't like me today...
Put the usernames and PW for all accounts by hand into pale moon. After two or three I wanted to check the entries. "Saved passwords" is EMPTY!
Folders and files are r/w, installed the right version - restarted pale moon and at last the PC - no change in the behavior! Can't save passwords...
Is there any hint, explanation or solution for this problem?
Greetings,
Dirk
