Rated 1 out of 5 stars
installing 1.01 today on fully patched 10.5.8 installed itself and then restarted FireFox. Following happened then:
1. add-on asked for password to my private, non-default keychain
2. I refused to enter the password
3. all interned passwords from all keychains are gone (dunno hot it may happen as all keychains were locked at that moment)
from my point of view: 0 stars, extremely dangerous... I'm just curious where keychain data were sent to ...
You're right, that makes absolutely no sense. The code to remove a password entry is only ever called in response to a request from Firefox to remove an entry. And if your keychains are locked, I'm not sure how the anything could actually delete if it tried (though you can read the names of entries while the keychain is locked, so maybe you can delete to?). I'm not even sure what to say since there are over a thousand daily users using it without problems.
If you can reproduce it consistently, please enable logging as detailed on the add-on summary page on this site, and post a bug report with detailed log output. Hopefully with the logs I can figure out what's to blame here.
