The "My Profile" and "My Comments" buttons don't work, but everything else does.
The toolbar needs your correct friend ID. See the question below to reset your friend ID.
How do I reset my friend ID?
On the toolbar, choose Options -> Account Settings. Empty the Friend ID field and hit OK. Now, login to your myspace home page. A
pop-up box should alert you that your friend ID has been found.
It seems Firefox Password Manager and the Auto Login feature don't get along. How do I disable the Firefox password manager for myspace.com?
In your browser, go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy tab ->
Passwords tab -> View Saved Passwords -> Passwords Saved tab, and
remove all sites containing myspace.com. The next time you visit
myspace.com and the password manager asks to remember your password,
choose Never for this site.
Sounds like a major error. When does Myspace Toolbar use my login information?
AutoLogin is ONLY enabled at http://login.myspace.com/ and http://home.myspace.com/.
How are my login credentials stored?
Your email/password are stored unecrypted as preferences under your Mozilla
profile. They cannot be encrypted because they must be sent to myspace
unencrypted.
In a nutshell, if you use AutoLogin, someone with physical access to your computer could obtian your password from the Mozilla preferences.
If this bothers you, don't use the AutoLogin feature!
