When you do a refresh, it does not save your passwords like it says. What now?

I did a Firefox refresh and it clearly says - If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs. This is not true. None of my passwords were saved. Now I have to re-login to all the websites I had saved. Not happy at all. Shouldn't make statements that are not true. I have tried to find them but they just are not there.

Is "re-login" means that the Password Manager was empty? Or that the passwords was there, but you had to click the Login button on every site?

Yes the password manager was completely empty. It asked me to save new password on every site because firefox didn't save them.

Sometimes that happens. See [/questions/1181868] to recover those passwords.
