MicroB Password Saving
 

Ever since I upgraded to the newest firmware the browser passsword saving acts differently. For instance with Facebook i have to enter my email address first then the password will appear. Even with the 'keep me logged in' box checked it still wont log me in automatically.

On a forum i use a lot; once im onto the login page my user name and password are there straight away but i still have to press login.

If i go back and forth between the sites on the same browser session i stay logged in. If i close it and open a new one I'm logged out.

As far as i can see i have the browser settings correct.

This is really annoying so any help is appreciated.

Afraid that I don't have any help to offer... Just chiming in to say that I have the same problem since the last update.

I do have the same problem, hopefully it will be fixed in PR1.2.

You can try to revert MicroB back to defaults and see if it still occurs. To do so, close all browser instances start xterm and type:

After the reboot MicroB will rebuild with its default settings cleared of all user data. If the browser still behaves as it shouldn't (I haven't really noticed, I don't use FB and I don't have problems on other sites), you can report a bug at Bugzilla and revert back your original settings by closing all browser instances again and typing in xterm:

After the reboot MicroB should be as it was prior to first 'reverting' to defaults.

If the MicroB behaves nicely after clearing it up, but you don't want to loose your settings, saved passwords and etc. you can still revert back to the original settings and live with it, but if you want to keep using like that you can remove the backup of the old settings previously created by typing in xterm:

Hope it helps...

Only just noticed the reply, i will try this later and report back on the outcome.

I sort of have a work around now (bookmarking login pages), but it still wont automatically login.

Did anyone test zwers suggestion? I have the same problem.

I'm not logged on automatically on any sites I have my password saved (Flickr, youtube, talk.maemo).

Confirmed.

The xterminal command worked for me.

mv ~/.mozilla/microb ~/.mozilla/backup_microb
reboot
