Opened Firefox and only have 10 passwords saved out of hundreds, how do I fix this and what happened?
I recently opened Firefox on my laptop and found only 10 of my saved passwords remained. I had a lot saved that I had been using the night prior to this on a different computer. I still have all of my bookmarks and addons saved, I’m just missing 95% of my saved logins? I have Firefox on 3 devices and it’s the same for all of them. What happened here and how can I restore them? I only have 2 profiles, mine and the default and I know there’s probably a backup of this saved in the profiles but I’m not sure how to restore it.

Hi
I am sorry to hear that this has happened. This matter is being looked into by our developers and I hope to be able to update you soon with more information.
Our developers have finished their investigation and an update for Firefox for iOS has been published. This is version number 121.1 and we strongly recommend that you update to this as soon as possible.
If you experienced data loss with the previous update we apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused.
You may be able to recover your logins through one of two ways:
- Use an existing backup of your Firefox profile that you may have taken (see this support article) or,
- Take a backup of your Firefox profile (this article will help). Keeping Firefox closed, find the file named logins-backup.json. Take a copy of it, rename it to logins.json replacing the existing file with the same name.
We apologise that this has happened. Work is being done internally to reduce the chances of this happening again but we appreciate that this does not make up for the disruption this has caused you.
