Zotero and privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords

Oby

I have some issues with Zotero forgetting my sync password from time to time on my University computer. Mye guess is that it is related to the fact that my University are real fans of locking down privacy and security settings.

Here is a link to their jsc settings file, which contains most of the locked settings: http://app.uio.no/oppsettfiler/Firefox/firefox.jsc

Note in particular the following:

lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
...
lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords", true);

Are these settings the culpit here? Or should Zotero's password storage work even with these options set and locked?

pretty sure that's the case, yes. Zotero relies on Firefox's password handling.
