passifox is always requesting passwords #520

Open moozer opened 8 years ago

moozer commented 8 years ago

I updated to passifox version 1.2.0, and there is a new behavior.

Whenever I go to a new page, passifox want to check if there are passwords available - this is quite annoying, since my database i usually locked, and the keepass window pops in front.

Can I disable that passifox talks to the password database before I explicitely asks it too?

The behavior has never changed, no.

So passifox, by design, queries the database for every page that gets loaded?

For every page that has a password field

That's not entirely correct, it is a password storage backend for Firefox's password manager, it requests everytime Firefox asks, which is usually only when there is a password field

So it might be related to the debian shift from iceweasel to firefox... I'll check firefox's settings.

Did you find a solution for this? I'm facing this problem, but i'm new to passiFox so I cant compare to "before"

moozer commented 8 years ago

no, stille having the issue. I suspect my installation of Debian + firefox to be the culprit, it is not only firefox behaving oddly....
