I use the firefox security device to store my passwords. It used to ask me when I entered a new password on a new site, now it does not anymore. I cannot change the passwords already stored and I cannot add new ones.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager (Troubleshooting)

If you see passwords in the Password Manager (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords") then you can use the Password Exporter extension to create a backup of the passwords.

Check that the exported (xml) file has all the names and passwords.
