So I had some passwords saved on a few sites without it. I&#8217;ve noticed though that even if I use a masterpassword now&#8230;If I don&#8217;t enter a password and visit those few sites, firefox auto-completes my username and password. If it&#8217;s not something I am doing wrong I consider this a bug. Since I&#8217;ve set a masterpassword why not protect ALL previous passwords ? Anyway&#8230;my temp solution was to delete those passwords from firefox&#8217;s internal database and enter them again after I have typed a masterpassword. Firefox now never auto-completes them without the masterpassword. I hope I have time later on to figure out how firefox descriminates passwords prior and after masterpassword being set.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox problem number 2:<br \/>\nI used to have great problems watching wmv videos inside webpages. I could see .mov movies fine with firefox&#8230;but wmv was a real pain. They sometime played&#8230;they sometimes did not&#8230;Most times firefox crashed after loading a page with a wmv inside. When it did not, it filled my memmory and reached more than 200Mb of VM Size in Windows. I had this idea today to check on the dll that is responsible for wmv files.<br \/>\nSo, I typed about:plugins, scrolled down&#8230;and there it was<br \/>\n<code>C:\/Program Files\/Windows Media Player\/npdsplay.dll<\/code><br \/>\nThen was the time to find an update. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=99655624-CA38-49B7-A701-93F5F0E501DD&#038;displaylang=en\">Windows Media Player Plug-in for Netscape Navigator<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That did the trick&#8230;Firefox now doesn&#8217;t crash and stays at normal VM size.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I changed was the Antivirus software I use. I changed from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.symantec.com\/\">Norton<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/\">Kaspersky<\/a>. I think Kaspersky is much much lighter than norton and my system gained some &#8220;fresh air&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also had new &#8220;comment&#8221; attacks on my blog using trackbacks. So, I had to disable trackbacks. WordPress enables each blog entry to have its own rules about trackbacks and comments&#8230;so I had to change all previous rules of my previous posts to disable trackback. That&#8217;s easy to do with a small sql command:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> UPDATE `wp_posts` SET `ping_status` = &#8216;closed&#8217; WHERE `ID` >0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Firefox problem number 1: When I first installed firefox I did not notice masterpassword setting at once.
