Firefox 43 (OS X) no longer remembers the passwords

Hi,

Since recently, I am using and syncing FF (full sync, including seetings) on several computers and several platforms (Win, OS X, Ubuntu, and iOS). And I have a problem on OS X only (with FF 43) :

A few days after the initial setup, FF stopped remembering the passwords : all the saved ones were forgotten, and FF was no longer proposing me to remember new ones. In the settings/privacy, the box "remember passwords" was still checked, but with an empty list of saved passwords and no exception. All my other machines were OK : the problem was on OS X only.

I couldn't find a solution, so I decided to completely uninstall Firefox, the preference files, my profile, etc... And then I reinstalled it and enabled sync. It solved the problem : FF was now remembering and syncing the passwords...

But a few day later exactly the same problem came back...

Any help appreciated...

My guess is that Sync is messing things up. More than likely the iOS device is the root cause.

See if merely disabling that iOS device works to get your Passwords back on the OSX computer over the next day or so.

OK, I've just disconnected FF on the iOS device...

No change after >1day...

So I have once again deleted my profile, start with a new one and re-sync everything. Works fine at the moment, let's see how long it will last.

FF on the iOS device is still disconnected.

The problem did not come back since 25 days, so I guess that FF iOS was indeed the cause.

I've seen that the FF 2.0 has just been released on iOS, I'm going to try to re-enable the sync with this new version.

There were issues with the sync feature in FF for iOS. There are solved in the 3.0 version, and now I can have all the devices connected to sync without problem on the OS X side.
