- Password Manager - started work on the backend again (bug 433316)
- Got some code in place to try and obtain passwords from toolkit password manager before prompting. This fixed some of the unit tests when building with toolkit password manager.
- Came across and fixed bug bug 461341 - when toolkit password manager migrates usernames it needs to unescape them.
- Wallet password details haven't been kept up to date with username/hostname changes - discussions in bug 433316 on how to fix this.
- bug 461029 POP protocol will now PR_LOG errors it also displays to the user.
- Noticed than nsMsgMailNewsURL was the only use nsUrlListenerManager and that in turn was effectively an nsTObserverArray - replaced the appropriate code bug 461946
