I upgraded from 3.6.13 to 10.0 and lost my web site login information for most (all?) of my bookmarked websites.

Firefox remmembered my logins with 3.6.13. After upgrade, no logins are3 filled in when I go to the site.

I tried looking at my profile. The only profile I can find is the one created by 10.0 and it obviously doesn't contain my old login info. Is there a backup of the old profile anywhere? I have searched but can't find. Is there a way to restore the missing profile?

Thank you, G. Hunter.

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

See:

You can disable the Java Quick Starter extension if you have it.

  • Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions
  • Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

Do you still see those names in the Password Manager?

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.
