Since updating to version 4.0.1, when I go to Tools, Options, Security, Saved Passwords, the list only shows the new passwords I've created since the update. My older passwords are working - at least at the sites I've used since the update so why can't I see them on the list? This is a feature I use quite a lot. Thanks for your help.

So you are saying that all my saved passwords are gone? This has never happened before when I've updated Firefox. Is there a way for me to get them back? Thanks.

If you do not see the old passwords in the Password Manager, but newly added passwords show then it is likely that your old passwords are no longer there.

You can check that you haven't switched to a new profile folder.
