Conkeror does not prompt to remember passwords

Question

I've been using conkeror for a while, and at some point password management stopped working. Conkeror no longer displays a prompt offering to remember new passwords; existing passwords can still be edited with M-x password-manager but conkeror no longer automatically fills out the passwords for any of the websites that I tried.

I have tried using a new empty profile with a minimal rc file containing just the required password management code suggested on the conkeror wiki (http://conkeror.org/PasswordManagement):

session_pref("signon.rememberSignons", true);
session_pref("signon.expireMasterPassword", false);
session_pref("signon.SignonFileName", "signons.txt");
Cc["@mozilla.org/login-manager;1"].getService(Ci.nsILoginManager); // init

The version is Conkeror 1.0pre on Xulrunner 25.0. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Mozilla recently introduced changes to XULRunner's password manager. This means you need to update your configuration.
