Keychain access upon launch of FFox #68

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Starting Firefox
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I launch FFox and I used to get a prompt that FFox wanted to use the keychain. 
Now, it has access to my keychain by default (unless my keychain is locked). 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.1.7, FF 28, Mac OS 10.8.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Keychain Services Int. used to ask to access the keychain every time I would 
launch FF, regardless of whether my keychain was unlocked or not. Something 
changed and now everytime I open FF, it has automatic access (unless the 
keychain is locked). How can I reset this so everytime I launch FF, it asks for 
my master password to access the keychain? Thanks

Hi. Access is controlled on a per-password basis.

Open Keychain Access and double-click on a password. Then take a look at the 
Access Control tab. If Firefox is listed in there, it will have access without 
OS X prompting you for a password. This will be true by default for any 
passwords that Firefox creates.
