How do I undo a delet of a password entry?
Doing things too quickly, I unintentionally highlighted all of the passwords and deleted them before I could see what I was actually doing.
How do I reverse that action and restore years of password collecitonas?

You can try to restore a previous version of the signons.sqlite file via the properties of the file (right-click context menu).
Be sure to make a backup copy of signons.sqlite and key3.db to avoid such a dataloss.

I wasn't competent enough to take advantage of the instructions and got bogged down. But the exercise was helpful in learning more about other aspects of FoxFire and that was good.
I would suggest giving some idea in what portion of the hard drive the suggested files would be found. Win 7 does not make it easy to see where it has gone when a search is finally successful.
I did remember to try to "restore" back a week or so, but that didn't restore the lost password list.
But it was good to find someone willing to try and help and for that I am grateful.
Thank you.
