Firefox 2.0.0.2 bugs

After updating Firefox to 2.0.0.2 the passwords management began to act strangely in my Firefox: the passwords would not be recalled with the login as before, but only after a reload or one attempt to login with the password field empty. MozillaZine forums had a workaround involving editing signons2.txt.

Unfortunately the encrypted passwords and logins don’t make much sense when multiple logins are stored for a single domain (as I have for my own) so you have a hard time trying to add the correct URLs to their ends. Deleting the logins from Firefox’s password management and then re-entering them with the passwords does seem to do the trick too, so I’ll have to resort to that in these cases.

I haven’t usually spent much time on MozillaZine’s Firefox Bugs forum right after updates have been released, but the number of open support requests for 2.0.0.2 in its front page seems a little high to my eyes. Maybe it’s just me, or did 2.0.02 introduce more new problems than previous updates?
