I was trying to remove duplicate user names and passwords, and somehow all of my saved user names/passwords disappeared. How can I restore them?

Hi Janeb3-

I'm afraid Firefox does not save backups of deleted data. I do not know of any easy way to restore them if you clicked 'Delete all'.

Rbillings, Thanks. Btw ... I'm on an iMAC and have a WD backup thingie, but I don't know where to look for where passwords are stored. If you have any thoughts, please reply. Thanks again.
