Am I supposed to be re-entering all of my online passwords?

So of late I notice that autofill for passwords is no longer
working.  
Extremely irritating.

I've figured out if I re-enter the password, I get a new,
duplicate  
entry in my Keychain, with the type "Web Form
Password" and  
camino_default in the comments.

Um, is this intentional or a bug? Did the way passwords are
stored  
really change in a non-backwards compatible? I see this in
the release  
notes:

"Camino will upgrade old Keychain entries saved by
versions of Camino  
prior to 1.5 the first time the entry is used instead of the
first  
time the entry is changed."

But I don't think it happened for me!

There was certainly no intentional breaking of backwards  
compatibility, and we did quite a bit of testing, but there
were a lot  
of changes to the Keychain code and some cases may have
slipped  
though. Once you have stored a duplicate password, does that
fill  
correctly, or does nothing fill either way? Does Console
show anything  
when you try to access a site where you have a stored
password that  
doesn't fill (using 1.6.1, where we added extra logging of
Keychain  
errors)?

Well... the good news is I went to 5 sites and they all
populated OK.

But it was really broken on every site I went to the other
day, and I  
definitely restarted a couple of times. To answer your
questions the  
new duplicated passwords were working correctly. Weird. I
will keep an  
eye on the console if it starts up again.

BTW - I have the old wallet.crypto.autocompleteoverride
setting on,  
because I want to save passwords for the sites I decide  
thankyouverymuch.
