Hi list,
Did an update to firefox last night and rebooted over night.
Today I find firefox started without asking for master password - funny me thinks.
Try to log in to a web service I use and find that my password does not appear.
Check preferences and find that no master password is set and the password list / table is empty.
As I do not trust my passwords to the cloud I do not save these to my firefox profile ..... so back to manual entry for all my sites.... wow going to be a slow month as I reset scores of passwords.
Any one else have this problem and any clues as to what causes this? I am concerned if this should happen again, as I have saved passwords for many scores of web services.
TIA Rob
We've run into this.
Is it fixed in the latest firefox, 60.2.2-1?
If not, it is not clear to me how to use the
export NSS_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE="sql"
method mentioned. Do we restore the old key3.db file, have the user set that variable, then start the new firefox? With that create a key4.db file and use it from then on?
