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.
Hi,
haven't had that, but restoring logins.json and key3.db in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../ from your latest backup should do the trick.
It would seem that the problem is with upstream-upstream's (aka Firefox) cleaning up of items that are not supposed to be there after Firefox 58

It looks like it is deleting files it thinks should have been converted to a newer more secure version.. but don't seem to be for some reason. I am not sure if those files will just removed again every time you restore them.
