I made a fix and when I did I lost all my saved passwords. Is it possible to restore Firefox to before I did a repair?
Ask.com has installed on my browser, I followed the directions to get rid of him but doing so lost all my passwords saved. Is it possible to get these back?
As mentioned above, to retrieve passwords rom another profile or in the "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop you need to restore the file signons.sqlite and key3db.

I was looking on a saved password when suddenly my computer crashed and restarted. After reboot I couldn't see the saved passwords.
As a test, I saved a password and this password is displayed in the list of saved passwords, but all the others are still missing.
How can I retrieve my saved passwords?Thank you!
If the file has no valid data then you may not use this file.
You can try if there is an earlier copy of the logins.json file.

New version lost all my saved passwords and not save everything - I tried help
Earlier versions of registered FF going on very well, but for the two latest updates that the function has stopped working. I tried the steps in the FAQ "passwords not saved", even changed my story custom to always save settings. I don't care. Don't make passwords or even asking me. All passwords that had been in my profile for the last two years are no longer visible in the window of the options "show saved". Should I uninstall Firefox and start over?

The extension 'Remember password' has been reported to cause problems with passwords disappears, so if you have this extension and then remove (uninstall) it.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).
- Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
- : Uncheck the [] "always use the private browsing mode.
It is possible that there is a problem with signons3.txt (encryption key) and logins.json (encrypted names and passwords) in Firefox.
You can open the logins.json file in Notepad (Firefox/tools > Web Developer) to check its content.
Click on the button to "Pretty Print" to fit the file for readability.
If there are names and passwords encrypted in logins.json there is probably a problem with the signons3.txt file that stores the encryption key.
You can rename the file signons3.txt (key3.db.old) and the logins.json (logins.json.old) file or move these files to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.Rename or delete a file of possible signons.sqlite (signons.sqlite.old) used by older versions of Firefox as well.
You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

I had Cogeco security Anti Virus etc installed on the computer and called and asked them to remove it and when they did... He also took off my e-mail Outlook Express6 program. After talking to them... they said was probably altered the outlook express and take off the anti virus program him took off the corrupt outlook express as well. Can someone tell me where to find a download for outlook express6 for windows xp professional?
Thank you
original title: download of outlook express6
They screwed something. OE is a part of IE6 and both are part of the XP operating system. You can't take off OE is there a standalone download.
Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components. OE is checked and restart.
If OE is verified:
Right click on the desktop | New | Shortcut. Navigate to "c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe". Click next | Click Finish. It will be a new shortcut on the desktop.
I would like to know where you are now.

Using the F8 method:

- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.

Hi people,
When I plugged a new card reader, Lexar Pro USB 3.0 Dual Slot player, I lost all my saved metadata that are used for imports. Now, when I type in the metadata, it registers on the photos, but then it is not saved for later use, as it was before. I'm trying to save him, but it does not work. Any ideas? Is Lightroom 3, version 3.6. 10.8.5 Mac. Thank you, dwc
I think that's the problem. Go to the original catalog, uncheck it, close LR, open LR, and create the new catalog.

My computer crashed (blue screen) and when it restarted a box came asking me to update Firefox. I clicked on OK (thought he was just trying to restore the session) and I have now lost all my favorites, passwords registered etc. There is no 'old Firefox data' folder anywhere on my system - help! is there a way I can get it all back without doing a system restore? I am running Windows 7.
Hi, you can try it for only bookmarks: first open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.
If not and the other favorites, please see.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

I've updated firefox and all my saved passwords have been deleated.
I've updated firefox and all my saved passwords have been deleated. I have an "old firefox data' folder and read earlier that the logins.json and signons3.txt files can be placed in my new firefox. Does anyone know how to do this?
There is a new Firefox profile folder created?
This "Old data Firefox" folder created recently because Firefox creates this file when you reset Firefox?
