How do I see what my password was before I accidentally saved the new incorrect one?
I was logging onto an old facebook account. I was trying to change the password. I thought it went through, but it didn't. I can't remember the old password. Facebook won't help me. I'd like to see my password history. Is that possible?

There is no history in the Password Manager.
Go to the website and use the 'Forgot Password' link.
In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.
If you use the Time Machine on your Mac then you can try to find an older copy of logins.json and key4.db.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Thank you for the help. I wish there was a way to undo it. Thank you though.
