Currently firefox currently writes usernames and passwords to a file in the users profile (signon2.txt). Instead of this, it will be written and read from a sqlite database. I've looked at some of the c++ source code for interacting with a sqlite db and it seems simple enough. But, firefox uses a unified storage system called mozstorage that to my understanding already handles db interactions. I'll have to look into this. Also, I'll have to look into the patches already released for this assignment.
Tentatively The work on this project has been already started by other developers so i have to adjust my release schedule looks something like thisplans accordingly:
v0For the 0.1<br/>Have release the tables set plan is to play catch-up in and to try to understand the scope of the db (possibly create work already done and the db or use an existing one)tasks still to be finished. <br/>v0For the 0.2<br/>Start having data written release some serious coding needs to be done. The project is actually already near the db fully functional phase (beyond and above the usual 0.3 status) at the time i joined in conjunction with . For the file read writes0. I don't see a need 3 release - i hope to strip out have it fully functional (the current codeactual 1.0 status) though this might prove to be a bit too ambitious.<br/>v0.3<br/>Continue NOTE: Since this bug has been decided not to be dealt with for the Firefox 3 release, no reviews for the patches have been planned before the readFF3 release and branching off a new tree.
