I'm no expert, but here's my workaround
Going from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04
Old file, made by OOO ver??, used by OOO ver?? and LO ver??, now LO writer v 3.5.2.2 now rejecting password.
Until now I have used the default placement for firefox, ie
/home/garry/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
which said
IsRelative=0
Path=/media/data/mozilla/firefox/Profiles/ubuntu.default
Now I have
/home/garry/.mozilla/(symlink to /media/data/mozilla/firefox)/profiles.ini
which says
IsRelative=1
Path=ubuntu.default
So now password works.
(why on earth LO depends on Ff, who knows?)
