03.02.2015 OS= Win7 SP1 FF: German versions 34/35/35.0.1 Good day, Firefox (FF) crashes when I try do open the password-manager (PM) the first time after starting FF. There is no crash report. Tabs will be restored after restart FF. The crashes ar in the moment I press the 'OK-Button' after typed the password to open the PM. ==> Not so, when PM not is secured with Password. It makes no difference wether I install the Add-in "Saved Password Editor" or not! What to do? greetings baumlein
