This is not a development question. Please forgive me if I trespass, but I believe I have been told to do this by [1].
I have read that article and also [2], but there is still something bugging me about the new Sync. My Firefox (actually Iceweasel, wink) asks for the Accounts credentials the first time I start Sync on each computer, but doesn't ask again after that - even after restart! How is that possible? Is the Accounts password stored in the clear on my computer when Sync is enabled? That would be very bad (even if "convenient"), I really want to be asked for the password every time. It seems I can get that behavior now only if I go to Manage Sync and click Disconnect before I close Firefox. So, it seems as if I have the choice between: 1. Convenience and no security (password stored, no interaction either on start or on close) 2. Security and double inconvenience (password not stored, I have to both log in to Accounts when starting and tell Firefox to forget it when closing). Is there any way I can get the security with a _single_ inconvenience, ie. just the log in on start-up?
