Unable to find my Security settings with Master Password(With all Saved Logins) After Refresh Firefox
I was having the Master Password for all the saved logins. I am using the latest Firefox version.
I refreshed Firefox and after that I am unable to see any of my saved logins in the Options>SEcurity>Logins. After typing the name of the website also i am unable to login since all saved logins are lost. I tried safe mode as well but it is still the same.
Please help me to get back all those saved logins.

You can check in Windows Explorer if there is a previous version of the logins.json and key3.db files available.
- Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Thanks Cor-el, There are no previous versions of the files. i tried to see the previous versions of the parent folders. They are not available.
Why it has got deleted after the refresh. is there any way that i can recover them.

Do you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop that has possible copies of the logins.json and key3.db files?
Thanks Corel!
This is how it worked for me! There were 2 profiles in the old firefox data. I just compared the sixe of the logins.json and key3.db files from both the folders and found that one of the folder has much bigger size.
So copied the logins.json and key3.db files from that folder to the current profile folder .
Did this help to regain the lost passwords?
