Firefox addon for kwallet KDE4

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements

Description:

Firefox stores its passwords internally, optionally protected by a master password. KDE has its own password manager called KWallet. KWallet stores every password in the KDE system, and protects access by a master password. With this extension you are able to use KWallet instead of the default Firefox password manager. It allows tighter integration of Firefox inside KDE.

IMPORTANT: This version works ONLY with KDE4, for the KDE5 version use: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=173994

It seems that the crashes experienced by the users are related to the new Javascript JIT Compiler Called ION Baseline. Disabling it seems to solve the problem. You can disable it by setting javascript.options.baselinejit.* in about:config to false

Extension stopped working in Firefox 32.

To fix that you can apply this patch [1]. No recompilation is needed, just find the JavaScript file in your mozilla directory.

I already contacted the author, but not response yet.

Works for me thanks. Instead of adding a new init which calls initialize, I just renamed init

< init: function () {
---
> initialize: function () {

So far it works.

Hi,

for me the addon stopped to work with Firefox version 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

Got so used to the addon that the absence of it reminds me, how much it improved my browsing experience.

In browser console (CTRL+SHIFT+J):

Services.logins is undefined

Mozilla changed the Services object structure?

Hi!

Thanks for the great extension - I am using it along with Thunderbird (v24.6.0 on Arch Linux).
Saving password to wallet works fine for me for imap and smtp, but I am experiencing issue with ldap credentials (I am using ldap to access corporate address book on Exchange server). When I am performing look-up in address book, Thunderbird asks for a password, and saves it after entering to the kwallet. But after I reopen Thunderbird, it keeps asking me for a password, even if it exists in the wallet (and visible through Thunderbird passwords window). If I disable kwallet integration, password saving works find and I am not getting re-prompts after saving the password for a first time.
I believe the issue is related to a specifics of ldap entry - it doesn't contain username - only password, so the entry in wallet looks like this:

,,ldap://localhost:1389/ou=people??sub?(objectclass=*),ldap://localhost:1389

but all other are starting with user name. So, if you have an idea why it is not working, please let me know - I will help with troubleshooting this issue. Thanks in advance! Let me know if you need more details.

Answering my own question :) After some investigation I found reason of my issue: in case of empty username, addon sends to thunderbird null as a username, while thunderbird expecting empty string. Here is simple patch that solves the problem: http://pastebin.com/t6eYhd7W
Would be great if you include this in upstream.

Seems that problem with broken passwords sync is in missed event/signal after adding/updating password to storage, this is detaily described in comment http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=116886&forumpage=4#c464368

Can anybody investigate the problem and find event that must be sent to Firefox after password is added/updated?

Which one is the better option?

To set javascript.options.baselinejit.* in about:config to false

or to set

javascript.options.ion.content to false?

Both seem to work...

Just installed 2.3 on firefox 30 all it did for me was make it imposible to tell why Firefox was refusing to start if I didn't know all ready. For some reason the firefox crash reporter is turned off in kubuntu. So I now get no report and no way to send one to anyone. setting javascript.options.baselinejit=false works around it. 2.2 gives me a stack trace indicating a crash in baseline.

When I use Firefox KDE Wallet extension, i see that passwords sync is works (I can't tell that it not work at all), but in result I often see, that not all passwords are synced:
Very often when I store new password in work computer, it missed in home computer, and vice versa.

Is any other extension users see this problem too, or this problem is only on my configuration?

If yes, maybe you find direct situations in which sync is not working?

I also noticed sync problems. The passwords storage and the sync subsystems are separate and independent. The storage subsystem is asked to read its passwords (when synchronizing to the net) and compare/write passwords (when synchronizing from the net). There is no problems there (at least the logs say so), my guess is that the sync subsystem is buggy.

If sync subsystem is buggy, why it works so stable with integrated password storage?

Maybe the problem is with detecting last changes in sync process?

I see that KWallet didn't show last update timestamp for passwords, and maybe it is not stored.

So maybe when Sync function try to understand which passwords are changed and need to be synced, it receives empty list. And if new item is created, it is synced with separate process "new record". In result wie got new records synced normally, byt old+updated records - not synced.

This is only my guess, but maybe problem is somewhere near :)
