 Tor Messenger can auto-join XMPP group chats. However, when I start Tor
 Messenger, I puts password-protected chats on hold instead of prompting me
 for a password or retrieving the password from the built-in password
 manager.

 Even worse, I found no way to activate the conversations that were put on
 hold. When I open them, an empty chat window is shown. All I can do is to
 to close them and re-open them via File → Join chat…, entering all details
 again.

 While you are at it, in the Join chat dialogue, the default value for the
 Server field (irc.$XMPP_SERVER) is not very helpful. The customary value
 for XMPP is conference.$XMPP_SERVER.

 (I'm sorry if this should go to Instantbird's bug tracker – it seems to be
 offline or closed, like the Instantbird wiki.)

 Thanks!
