When I tried the beta update of firefox most of my passwords were deleted and I am unable to retrieve them. I cannot even sync with my other computer to get the passwords to load on this computer either. So, how do I get rid of the beta or find the passwords? Thank you, john m

Can you locate an older copy of logins.json?

You can check in Windows Explorer if there is a previous version of the file available.

  • right-click: Properties -> Previous Versions

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
