my saved passwords stored with master password have stopped being filled on all sites. How can I solve this? (Ubuntu 11.04)

more options

I´ve tried Ubuntu 11.04 and in the begining, Firefox saved my passwords (by the use of a Master Password).

Then, all of a sudden, my master password stopped being asked on every session and all sites are not filled automatically.

I already changed the master password, ticked off an on saving and nothing really works.

Thanks mate. I was not aware of that situation. Never happened to me on Windows =/

There should be a warning of sorts to let us know that history is related to passwords not being stored in a weird kinda way...
