    Saved Password Editor for Thunderbird description

    Adds the ability to create and edit password entries in the password manager

    Saved Password Editor is a Firefox extension that's mostly useful to work around certain sites that disable password saving. There exist things such as bookmarklets that try to knock out such code, but they don't always work. As a last resort, you can use this extension to enter the information manually (or semi-manually). For web forms, a button is provided to guess the correct values from the currently displayed page, so it's not too bad.

    In case it isn't obvious from the summary and screenshots, the add-on adds "New" and "Edit" buttons in the password manager (Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords, or Edit > Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords, depending on OS). That's how you access it.

    What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

    · Added page context menu items for manipulating logins associated with a web form directly. These are made to work very similarly to those in Mobile Saved Password Editor.
    · Renamed "HTTP authentication" login type to "Annotated" while making it work with non-HTTP authentication logins (an example being Sync). Accordingly, I also renamed the "HTTP realm" field to "Annotation".
    · Rearranged icon files so all are in the skin directory; packed the 29px, 24px, 19px, and 16px icons into a single file for use with the "-moz-image-region" style rule. The 32px and 64px ones must exist as individual files since they are referenced from places that don't accept icon-set images.
    · Converted first-run component to a module. This solves the problem of unreliable behavior in opening a new tab, since I can now use an overlay to import the module on window load. The module runs once on application startup and leaves no objects where it is imported.
    · Updated welcome page to mention the new commands in the context menu.
    Improvements to editor window:

    · Minimized use of XPath.
    · Loosened form matching logic: no longer requires name attributes.
    · Handling of show/hide now focuses the newly-visible button for better accessibility.
