I use the autofill but every few weeks everything in the autofill just disappears.

I don't do anything, i go to use it on the normal sites and there's nothing there so, I have to retype eveyrthing.

Is there a way to stop this please?

Something is removing the data. The time span suggests a cleaning program.

If you use a form-filling add-on, this should not happen. Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

Does this coincide with Firefox updating every six weeks?

I never timed how long it is when everything get deleted.

Auto updates are on, but I've never seen Firefox update anything.
