DetailsDescription:
Password storage appears to have been broken by nss=3.33-1. This can be seen in Thunderbird if a Master Password has been set, or server passwords are stored in Password Manager. On launch, Thunderbird no longer prompts for a Master Password, and does not use stored passwords for server login. There is no related output when launched from a terminal (output I get is about Lightning calendars). I'm rebuilding to confirm the cause but wanted to flag this in case this is a "previously known issue". (This might also affect Firefox.) Additional info: * thunderbird=52.3.0-2 * nss=3.33-1 Steps to reproduce: * Update to nss>=3.33 * Launch Thunderbird: 1) - Observe lack of Master Password prompt 2) - Attempt to log in to mail server using credentials stored in Password Manager - Observe prompt for server-specific password |

Rebuild against nss=3.33-1 didn't make any difference so I'm at a loss...

Looks like it's an issue with `secmod.db` within the Thunderbird profile. After (re)moving this file it is recreated by Thunderbird. Thunderbird then asks correctly for a Master Password, and stored passwords are available.
