Master Password - Unable To Change Password message when trying to change settings

I've installed the Master Password extension, and now I'm trying to update the settings (Auto-Logout, Lock, Prompt etc)

However after typing in my first password, and then changing all the settings, I get the message "Unable To Change Master Password".

Then when I got back in to the settings none of them have saved.

The password has been stored, because when I restart Thunderbird I get a prompt asking for it, and entering in my password works.

All I can do is add and remove a master password!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The add-on has a support site listed as https://github.com/vanowm/MasterPasswordPlus/issues

I suggest you ask the guy that is asking for money for the add-on why it does not work.
