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?
It will be fixed when this is released:

In the mean time, for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 (x86_64, i386) .. there is a temporary unsigned build here:
https://buildlogs.centos.org/c6-firefox60.x86_64/firefox/20181015143830/
https://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-firefox60.x86_64/firefox/20181015143830/
Thanks for these builds! Unfortunately I did have problems after updating to them. The session wouldn't restore as usual and some tabs simply kept empty. The URL was shown correctly but the webpage wasn't visible. Reloading didn't help.
Downgrading to the current version fixed it again.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
No idea .. the buildlog seems OK. This is not released yet upstream is likely in QA testing now.
