Why, when my laptop installed new updates I lost all my files and information?

• Each update (automatic) lost all my passwords (and existing 'aid' is a nightmare)

  I read a LOT of other people who have this problem, and I've seen no good answer. (Answers require several days of analysis, and I don't have much time.)

  Whenever Firefox updates automatically, it loses most of my passwords!

  Yes, I read that there is a 'profile' blah blah blah. But does that mean that I have to go through all kinds of loops, when this automatic update occurs?

  If so, I gladly leave Firefox and switch to another browser.

  I never had this problem with any browser, never with Safari, I left only because he did not work with many websites.

  I use a Mac, OS 10.6.8

  Thank you

  Why not update manually? If you do it this way, the profile is not in use when the update takes place, so nothing in it should be corrupted.
