I've used Firefox for over a decade.

Tonight I installed the latest Firefox update on Mac OS.

All my saved passwords in Firefox Password Manager are gone.

I'll never be using Firefox again. What a pain. Never again.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.
