I have experienced this some months ago.
I re-entered my address, and then it worked again.

Sorry that I did not answer, I was quite busy the
last weeks...

best regards,
Zeno

Yes, that's the same thing. It blanks the e-mail field in preferences,
then when you save your preferences it stores a blank for your e-mail
address.

Tell Mozilla to forget the stored form data for the login form; it gets
confused and tries to put stuff into the preferences form -- including
the blank e-mail address for creating new accounts.

Okay, that makes sense. I mean, it doesn't, but I understand how it
works. Anything the Wikipedia software could do about it? Or can we just
wait and hope for the Mozilla developers to fix this?

Thanks for the tip!


BTW, some people on the German Wikipedia are complaining that they are
getting logged out after a few hours. I remember that there was some
discussion about this problem some time ago, and I thought someone had
fixed this. Or is this again a browser problem?

You have to check the 'Mein Passwort merken' checkbox in the login
screen. Maybe this checkbox should be placed near the 'Anmelden' button
and not near the 'Neues Benutzerkonto anlegen' button to be better noticed.
