saved passwords in windows10
Hello,
I am thinking of upgrading to Windows 10 but understand that all my saved passwords will be lost. Is this true???

Hello there,
No, you can have all the passwords stored in Firefox if you synchronise your account.
Setting up Sync requires two parts: you must create an account on your main device, then sign in to your account using your other devices. Here are the steps in detail: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer
Once your passwords are synchronised you can then go ahead and upgrade to Windows 10
Hope this helps!
It is best to backup your personal data locally and not rely on Sync because Sync isn't designed to be used as a backup.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
