Title: SOLVED: falkon password manager doesn't work
Post by: Tu71YE on 16 October 2023, 22:30:46

Hello,
I'm trying out Falkon as a replacement for Librewolf. The password manager does not work. When I log in to a site, it doesn't offer to save the password, and I can't add entries to the password list manually. It appears to work as expected when I downgrade to falkon-23.04.3-1-x86_64. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

ldd falkon shows all satisfied.

Code: [Select]

$ /usr/bin/falkon -v
falkon 23.08.2
$ /usr/bin/falkon

Thank you. Falkon now offers to save password for most sites but not for all.
EDIT: I mark this topic as solved because in Void and AntiX, Falkon behaves the same, that is, it does not save passwords for certain sites.
