Its not checked for me.....  I'm not sure what you've done.


Mostly solved. Fortunately I don't use anything complex for authentication.

Here is the article explaining how to reset the master password in Firefox, T-bird, etc. :

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password#Resetting_the_master_password

I used :

Choose Tools – Error Console, paste the expression:

openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul")

...and press the Evaluate button. That will open a dialog asking you if you want to reset your password.

There is a note on the page indicating that FF can get into a state where the Master Password is set to an erroneous or invalid value.

Since I did nothing but yum update and reboot yesterday, I guess t-bird has a similar issue.
