tabishjawaid5, sometimes missing passwords can be retrieved using the logins-backup.json file in the Profile folder on the hard drive. Although this would need to be done sooner rather than later.

If you do not know where your Profile folder is, see here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data

To attempt password recovery:

  1. open your Profile folder on your hard drive
  2. close all Firefox windows
  3. move logins.json to a backup folder
  4. copy logins-backup.json to a backup folder
  5. in the profile folder, rename logins-backup.json to logins.json
  6. restart Firefox

If this doesn't work then you can always exit Firefox and then restore the original two files.

It didnt helped as the backup file is same as current logins.json file, please note that i have a login.json.curropt file there too, but it isnt readable and myaccount was loggedout automatically 2 days before, i did a reset password and just logged in, i believe that could be the trigger part of this
