...this morning when I opened up FF (ver 29) and tried to log into a site that had a saved username/password the fields were blank. I went to Options > Security > and checked Saved Passwords to find nothing but the Mozilla forums login listed. ALL my other saved logins were wiped out completely. I am dyslexic and have a difficult time remembering passwords for all the sites I frequent which is why I have FF remember them. I have no idea how to recover these. save for rolling back to the earlier version. This is the second strike I have against the latest update as I find I cannot log onto one of the sited I frequent (ZDNet) because the login icon is beilg blocked for some reason.

Do you see more entries in the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder?

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

You can open the logins.json file in the Scratchpad (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). Click the "Pretty Print" button to format the file for readability.
