Yes I did...many times..I also went ahead and updated the Flash but no luck... One thing is that the firefox passwords on my other computer have disappeared as well so I can't even sync this one to get the passwords back. Any other ideas!??

Nop...no windows password...I meant the passwords saved by Firefox have disappeared from my both computers...the laptop and the desktop....... even if I can recover my laptops I will be fine(sync)..... Any way to recover those??
You need a backup copy or previous versions of the key3.db and signons.sqlite files to restore the passwords stored via the Password Manager.
