Zotero and WebDAV passwords empty after restarting Firefox 10.0 with Zotero 3.0

mailmarcus
Hello,
after upgrading to Zotero 3.0 on Firefox 10.0 both sync passwords are lost/empty after each closing and reopening Firefox.
Filling them in once Firefox is running, both syncs are running flawlessly. I have already set a new password on zotero.org but the error remains.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Marcus


Zotero error message:
"The Zotero sync server did not accept your username and password.
Please check that you have entered your zotero.org login information correctly in the Zotero sync preferences."

    It's more likely that this broke during the Firefox upgrade than that it was caused by Zotero, since Zotero just uses the Firefox login manager. This is generally due to corruption of the signons.sqlite file in your Firefox profile directory (which also stores website logins). Try closing Firefox, moving that file and any other signons.* files out of the way, and restarting Firefox, and then see if your passwords are remembered between restarts.

    Thanks,
    problem solved.
    Forcing Firefox to create a new "signons.sqlite" fixed the error.
