I have recently uninstalled version 3.6 and installed the current version as FF crashed continuously. Probably I had also too much extensions, so now I installed only a few of them and it works fine so far.

I had backed up my profile, of course, and meant to copy the most important stuff (bookmarks and so on) into my new profile. This didn't work and I managed finally only thanks to Xmarks, synchronizing my chronicle and bookmarks, so this is ok anyway.

What worries me... See more
I have recently uninstalled version 3.6 and installed the current version as FF crashed continuously. Probably I had also too much extensions, so now I installed only a few of them and it works fine so far.

What worries me most is that FF does not save any more my passwords. The corresponding old files (sign-on and another one that I don't remember) are in the new profile, I'm asked regularly for my masterpassword and each time whether I want to save a password, but it does not. I have managed fortunately to read and print out my old passwords, so each time I have to search them on paper, which is not very comfortable...

Has anyone encountered a similar problem and/or can advise how to solve it? What I find strange is that Firefox obviously does not recognize anything of the old profile. Is there anything I missed?

Thank you very much! ▲ Collapse
