After hard reboot firefox successfully restored session, all bookmarks and settings are intact, but all saved logins and passwords are gone! Mozilla Firefox(88.0.1 (64-bit)) for Ubuntu (18.04.5 LTS) Is there a way to restore them? The only "Old Firefox Data" available is 2 years old which is not acceptable.

FredMcD, there is only one profile. Also, it's set to delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed
