Firefox Sync credentials get removed, why? #170

The 'Firefox Sync' feature creates a Password Credential with URL chrome://FirefoxAccounts (Firefox Accounts credentials), which get removed on browser restart.

I configured ForgetMeNot to 'Cleanup Enable' & 'Never clean domains without a top level domain', how-ever it still gets removed.

I disabled the plugin, and the entry is not deleted, so I am pretty sure ForgetMeNot is removing it, how-ever the logic tells it should remain right?

Cleaning passwords on a domain-level is not possible due to a limitation in the browser interface. You can either clean all passwords or none. You'll have to disable the password cleaning checkbox to keep passwords.

Work-around works like a charm, thanks. I "re-implemented" the "password cleaning checkbox" by disabled storing passwords by unticking the box "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites", to ensure no (extra) details are stored at all.
