Comment 98 for bug 919659

I've just done a clean install of Linux Mint Maya 64 bit. I dual boot this with Windows Vista Business 32 bit on my Dell D630. I like to keep the same environment, so in Linux, I have two profiles for Firefox: the default Linux, which I rarely use and the Windows which I select most of the time.

In the course of my investigations, I managed to lose my old Windows profile, so both are now new. I find that if I start up Firefox using the Windows profile, Libre Office has the encryption problems noted in this thread: i.e. won't save and says the password is incorrect on opening. If I open Firefox with the Linux profile then Libre Office works fine.

Seems very odd that a Firefox profile should affect a separate encryption programme, but clearly it does. I'm also very annoyed to have lost my Windows Firefox profile, but then I should have backed it up.
