Problem in Firefox 4.0.1 about passifox HOT 10 CLOSED

Restarting keepass fixes this issue for me--there seems to be some sort of memory issue that causes keepass to not decode the communication key correctly.

from passifox.

Before submitting I tried repeatedly to restart Firefox and KeePass (and the whole Windows system).
The problem still exists for various forms of passwords.
Help.

Try deleting the associated key for firefox from "KeePassHttp Settings" -- restart firefox and see if it behaves better. The setting may be corrupt somehow.

It also did (twice) - with no results. The problem occurs even on github.com, practically on every page with the form.

Go into about:config enable signon.debug and restart firefox, then look in the error console (control-shift-j) and paste parts of the log when loading a page with a password form (Mostly lines will have KeePassFox around them). I need to see if bad base64 strings are being generated.

The base64 strings there appear okay, please paste an image of the KeePassHttp Settings advanced tab (with the AES Key fields allowed to be displayed--or paste the values here)--and verify that you are having the same error window popup.

You will need to delete the keys after pasting them.

I'm ready to delete the keys.

Yeah, this is the bug I've seen in KeePass before, it'll double-up the key value (notice the duplication of the entire string after the first =) -- in my experience, if I restarted keepass, and looked at the entry, sometimes it would not be duplicated. It seems to be a memory error, but I cannot reliably reproduce it.

Try restarting keepass a few times and look at that string to see if it is not duplicated--when it is not duplicated, it should work just fine

You might also want to try removing the duplication and saving the database--that should enable passifox to work as well.

Eventually, I'd like to find the cause of this corruption, but I have not been able to reproduce and track it down yet.

After several re-run KeePass, the value was always duplicated.
But once again, I removed the "KeePassHttp Settings" (third time), Firefox asked for a new value,
and now it is one and not duplicates.

Gladly would help in finding the cause of this error.
If so the problem appears again and I could help "track down" it - will contact you.

For now, thank you very much for solving my issue.
