I accidentally deleted all my saved logins and cannot recover them, is there a way to?
I was going through my saved logons changing passwords to more secure ones since it had been a ling time coming and accidentally hit "delete all" rather than exit, and I can't get a previous version of logins.json either. Is there a way to save them or am I SOL?

Unless you have a backup of the password files somewhere . . . . .
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.
Mac computers have something called 'Time Machine.'
