The problem seems that libreoffice doesn't like path that is not
relative to the firefox folder.

When the firefox profile.ini is such :

[Profile1]
Name=user1
IsRelative=1
Path=user1
Default=1

it's OK for libreoffice

But when it is such :

[Profile1]
Name=user1
IsRelative=0
Path=/home/user1/.mozilla/firefox/user1
Default=1

libreoffice fails to open the password protected file !

libreoffice also fails if there is no ~/.mozilla folder at all.

(Firefox has no problem with the not relative path and, in this case, when 
launched with the second version of profile.ini it rewrites it into the first 
version (relative).
It cannot transform it when the path is outside of the firefox folder.)

Now the bug seems to be either that :
- libreoffice should not access the firefox profile when opening or saving 
password protected files ?
- and/or libreoffice cannot follow unrelative path in profile.ini

Remember : my config is not new, and it still works with libreoffice 3.4.4 on 
Ubuntu 11.10.
So it's some kind of a regression anyway. Affecting libreoffice 3.5.2.2
