Hi all,I wrote about my solution to the 64bit problem some months ago, but mozilla deleted the comment. I will try it again:I have set up a github repository containing a copy of the original author's svn repository. I made a minor bugfix and some minor improvements and succeeded in compiling a usable 64bit library. The lib works well even with the latest FF or TB for me and some others who succeeded in contacting me via e-mail.The github repo:https://github.com/toaster/mozilla-gnome-keyringUPDATE (regarding JS Compiler): I had experienced the original crashes half a year ago on 64bit Linux while having no problems on 32bit Linux. A recompile produced a working library without changing anything in Firefox.I am using this library since then and it works without any problems. My baselinejit.* options are still enabled (default). I venture to doubt that this is the core of the problem.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.1-signed.1-signed).

NOTE: It seems that the crashes experienced by the users are related to the new Javascript JIT Compiler Called ION Baseline. Disabling it seems to solve the problem. You can disable it by setting javascript.options.baselinejit.* in about:config to false

Unfortunately the extension does not work with Firefox/Thunderbird on x64 Linux. When trying to access a stored password both applications crash.I moved from my 32bit machine to a new 64bit one and am really missing this extension.

[UPDATE]

I tried to contact the author via the form on his website without success.
I succeeded in compile his sourcecode for the gnome-keyring-library and with a little change (only include gnome-keyring-memory.h) I succeeded in running the tests and using the extension on x86-64 without crash.

@Guillermo: If you read this, please contact me through tilo<at>pruetz.net if you're interested in further details.

This extension is really awesome. I use it with Firefox 21 and Thunderbird 17.0.6. I did not encounter any problems up to now.

Two things could be better:

1. The default keyring name for Thunderbird is set to “Unknown” (while the Firefox one is set to “Firefox”).

2. I really miss a migration feature. I have a huge amount of credentials stored in the Firefox wallet and have to copy them manually into a file and then visit each of the sites to store the credentials into the Gnome keyring. That's annoying.
