I was alerted to new version when Ubuntu upgraded yesterday; this morning I did manual upgrade on Windows 7, and all my saved passwords and bookmarks are gone. History seems to be complete, and somehow this morning (without my noticing any crash) Firefox prompted me to restore the previous session, and then gave me windows from yesterday.

Solved: Firefox 7.01 was installed "as admin" from user account and it started up using admin profile. Restart of Firefox returned me to user profile.
