Your latest versions lost my logins. How do I retrieve them?
When I try to login to a site the uses one of my saved logins there is no saved login. In addition there is no box popping up asking me if I want to save the login (when I manually enter it.)

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

You may be able to get them back just by logging back into Firefox Sync. If you used the feature before, your passwords will still be there.
Otherwise, there should be a folder on your Desktop called "Old Firefox Data". In here you should find passwords in logins.json. They are encrypted. You will need to copy this and the key4.db encryption key to your new profile.
