I can see the passwords in 'saved passwords', but ... all my sites are asking for passwords again.

Only some of them get the user/pass dialog filled in, so ... it's a real pain trying to copy/paste my passwords.

Is this due to loosing cookies during the upgrade?

How can I prevent this from happening again.
