At the time i got involved with the project it consisted of an additional source file storage-Sqlite.js and two patches - one for a file called all.js and the other for nsLoginManager.js developed by Mrinal Kant.
 
I was told that this solution does what it supposed to (it did - i tested it on my own build of minefield) but there are some issues with the way one function (initWithFile) interacts with other portions of the Mozilla source. My focus was to try and understand what exactly is the problem - so far i'm not much wiser than i was before i started.
 
In the meantime, recently the nsLoginManager.js (the file the second patch was applied to) has changed which broke the functionality. To fix this we need to get the categoryManager to correctly recognize the new sqlite password storage. I'm going to be looking into this - this is now a highest priority task.
 
'''v0.1'''
A very VERY trivial one - the patch for nsLoginManager.js is declared obsolete. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288040 for details.
