I know Thunderbird is Mozilla, but after checking Firefox/Mozilla Saved passwords and running the cleaner, I had to re-enter my passwords to all my email accounts in Thunderbird.
I was under the impression it would clean Firefox's Passwords and had no idea it would wipe Thunderbird, also I've done this before and CCleaner did not wipe my email account passwords for Thunderbird.
Is this a new feature or is CCleaner suppose to wipe all of Mozilla product's passwords if this option is selected? Like I stated above, I've done this before and ccleaner never wiped thunderbird out like this before.
If you search you will find that this was a recent complaint,
and I cannot remember whether there was a solution or if there will be a fix.
It may even be fixed in the current version, unless of course you are up to date.
If you need further advice the Windows and the Mozilla versions may be relevant.
Yup, I am up to date on ccleaner. Win7x64 is up to date and so is Thunderbird. It's not a huge deal as I don't often use the feature. My win7 installation is quite old so maybe something is messed up but everything runs like champ and fast without hiccups, if I decide in near future to reinstall the OS and find the problem gone I'll post back.
oic, so its not on my end, it's ccleaner, glad that is cleared up. I'm not a demanding end user as this isn't a huge deal to me, I was posting here and asking before submitting a bug in the bug section to contribute, as I know now, you guys have known about this.
All cleared up.
Thanks hazelnut.
By the way, been using ccleaner for many many years since it first came out, fantastic creation have to have tool, excellent UI as well. #1Tool.
That said, I renew my voice on the splitting of Thunderbird from the rest of mozilla cleaning
The work-around does work or course, but it's not at all obvious to the general user. I wa about to stop using CCleaner, because I couldn't see how to get it to stop clearing Thunderbird's passwords and I was not going to accept re-entering them all every time I ran CCleaner. Then I found this post, so now I'm all set (thanks).
I strongly second Nergal's proposal to split Thunderbird from Firefox.
All that said, I'm unsure if this is at all possible as it was mozilla who combined them They may well use the same files (unsure only use firefox and only use the portable version there-of)
