Hi all, Since latest updates to my Ubuntu system, both Firefox and Thunderbird frequently ask that the primary password be reentered. This is tedious, and not necessary on my system, which only I have access to. Can I change the settings either to only require a password once only when the programme is invoked or to extend the time that a password remain valid? (If there is a method - I can't find it!) I'd appreciate some advice. Kind regards 13arry 13arker
