Well, this is actually very good to have and seams as nice way to
protect your saved passwords in Thunderbird.<br>

To quote<br>
</font><br>
<blockquote> <font face="Calibri">So a new change in version 78
is that "Thunderbird will now ask for OS account password
before displaying saved passwords". This is akin to a business
or credit card company asking me for my Social Security
Number, in other words, totally unacceptable. This is a deal
killer for me, I'll never update to version 78.0 as long as
this "feature" is in place. <br>
<br>
</font> </blockquote>
So I though I would see what that was all about. I searched
Bugzilla. Nothing. <br>
A general Google search lists loads of copy and paste pages
parroting the release notes text, but nothing on that expands on
the statement.<br>
Was this a platform or Thunderbird change. I have no idea. <br>
What does it really affect, again I have no idea. It sounds like
yet another thing I will be wanting to disable though!<br>
<br>
Perhaps someone can suggest a way to turn these random bits of
text in the release notes into a way to get details because I am
about done trying. My 6 hour venture today into V78 resulted in
me back on 68 to stay I think. I can't make my profile work in 78.
it just displays an empty non functional user interface.<br>
<br>
I guess I will not be supporting V78 as I can not get it to
actually function, let alone find the details of what the changes
actually are or how they should work. I hope others have better
luck. <br>
