Scenario:
- open a FF window, visit a login page, enter master password prompt
- open another FF window, visit a login page; the master password prompt will be asked again
It would be nice not to be prompted again. Not sure this can be done, though.
One is not prompted for a MPW when opening a new tab, which is nice.
-
Sure you can do this - the answer is staring you in the face on the MPW prompt window ;) - and you have two options, actually...
1. Save MPW to memory - this is a per session save, so after closing the last FF window, then opening a new window, you'll again be prompted for the MPW, which will again be saved until you close the last window...
2. Save MPW to disk - this survives sessions, and reboots as well...
Of course, both of these bring a higher security risks with them - the safest is to never save it at all...
-
I think he might be using the save to memory option.
-
Yes, I am using the "save to memory" option.
I would expect to have to enter the MPW after opening the first FF session, but not subsequent ones.
-
The way most Firefox extensions work tend to make each window work like separate applications, and unless something is written to disk someplace, don't share info with each other.
-
OK. Thanks.
HTTP authentication is shared between FF windows, though. So it is different for extensions, then...
-
Hmmm... never noticed this because I generally use just one window...
Filed for future reference...
-
This is possible and was probably just an oversight on my part since I only use a single firefox browser (with many tabs).
-
So...
Is this trivial enough to just fix it now - or should I add a FR?
-
Could you add it to the list so I don't lose track of it?

Done... with one vote from ignatius.reilly - ignatius, you have 4 more votes...
