I used a master password for years. Today, I noticed that it had been authorized. What could cause this?

I used a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today, I wanted to watch one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this, I noticed that Firefox was no longer is configured to use a master password. I'm afraid I can have been hacked, or that something is is past (recent update Firefox?) which caused the use of the master password will be disabled.

I have not yet checked my other computers synced to see if their master password has been disabled.

I have re-enabled the functionality of password on this computer.

On this particular computer, I had a long-standing issue date where Firefox ' help > about Firefox "still says I need to"restart to update. This means that I can't use "help > about Firefox ' to check and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installation program.

If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (this will clear the update history).

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
