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:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

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.

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 lost all my saved passwords since upgrading to FF, how do I get back them?
I had a lot of saved passwords, they are now all gone. Also, even if I have the box checked to remember passwords, I'm not a guest to see if I want to save or not, and the password I entered earlier today [including this site] are not saved.
I never changed the password in the Options settings, what is happening since the last update.

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.

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?

I have a HDD making noise and I would like to back up my files and folders, windows mail / my email and contacts so that I can install my system on a new hard drive without losing all my saved information and contacts
backup what option allows me to record the information of e-mail, my files and folders, settings of the computer basically everything but the system itself.
I have a full factory CD/CD that includes an image of windows vista (hp system recovery discs) but that does not include my email info or the files and folders to restore
or is it better to centre commercial simple backup windows separately and how can I do this?
I don't want to lose my contacts and my email saved during the backup process.
I understand the hardware drivers and additional programs will need to be reinstalled and I have all my disks associated with the addition of software/hardware.
Thank you

How to erase all my saved passwords or password work?
I've been using saved passwords and am now trying to get the password to warn me before she logs in any site. It does not work so I want to just erase all my saved passwords if this is my only option.
It could happen to be a long story, but...
Most of the sites will keep you connected using a cookie. These cookies can be persistent and be valid for months, they expire at the end of your session or they can be for some specific time. Each site will be a little different, based on their balance of comfort and security.
Logging in manually on a site either clears the cookie, or invalidate the session on the server so that the cookie is no longer bound to a live session upwards, or both.
When you have a cookie that the server still accepts, the site usually does not display the login page, your stored password is never used.
If you want cookies only to be valid for the current session of Firefox, you can change your settings in the Options/preferences dialog box.
button '3-bar' menu > Options / Preferences > Privacy panel
If the selector says "conservation rules: don't forget history" change to "use the custom settings for history". Then, under 'Accept cookies' change the "keep until" affecting "closing of Firefox".
That will not affect the cookies set at present, but in the future, when a site sets a cookie, unless you create an exception specific to the site, it is empty when you exit Firefox.
There is an exception to the general rule: Firefox stores crash data recovery for your windows open and the legs, and keep the session cookies in this file in case restore you your previous session. (For secure sites (HTTPS), cookies are used only in a failback, not a manual restore in the menu background.)
In any case, it is preferable to log out of sensitive sites manually to be sure that nobody can return to these sites.

I deleted all my saved passwords on firefox on my computer at home can I get back them?
If you have not created backups of them, you will not be able to recover.
If you create backups of your user data, you must copy the two backup files, key3db and signons.sqlite and place them in your profile folder.

I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?
I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs. Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?
LillieLooks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile. This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.
Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.
Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened. If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.
Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files? For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.
Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings
Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings. You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.
Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures» Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.
Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).
Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.
