</p><p>I think I could guess what is wrong with firefox74.
Though I never actively agreed in <strong>comparing</strong> my browser <strong>logins database</strong> with <strong>Firefox Monitor</strong>, after every firefox Update, at least since 74.0, my approximately 500 logins (more than three decades since Netscape) where compared over the internet, which took more then 10 minutes and while this is done, the local browser password manager isn't functional. The real problem with firefox74 is, that <strong>no warning is shown to the user, that browsers password manager is temporarily unavailable</strong>. Therefore <strong>I got panic</strong> and started activities to recover may passwords with suggestions from long time ago. I tried recovery by resetting my firefox profile. Had a crash (my logins.json.corrupt is 0 B in the profile folder on my desktop), it is very astonishing, that after long time 271 of the passwords reappeared, obviously after the comparison with Monitor was done.

In the event that the passwords information is lost, you
should record all information in a separate text file
somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down.
You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If
you are concerned about someone else looking
at that file, you can compress it using a password.
