Public bug reported: When using auto-login in Lubuntu 20.04 LTS, browsing firefox causes firefox to send a request to the default keyring to unlock.
The problem is, it doesn't provide any information about what application is making the request. This can be disorienting to the user, especially since the security prompt locks out the system until you enter the password or press cancel, with no hints about why you're getting the message.

When firefox is opened again, you get a new message asking you to create a new password for the default keyring.

Would it be possible for firefox to supply its name when interacting with the default keyring? ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: focal ** Attachment added: "apport information" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973464/+attachment/5589848/+files/apport.firefox.k3utv7sf.apport -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973464 Title: Firefox does not supply name when it asks to open default keyring in Lubuntu 20.04 Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When using auto-login in Lubuntu 20.04 LTS, browsing firefox causes firefox to send a request to the default keyring to unlock.
