In the middle of my FF session, about:logins stopped showing any stored logins/passwords. Although the automatic form filling continued to work on every page I tested.
- FF version is 115.9.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 12 Linux
- I use Master Password
According older questions for the similar topic:
- there is no logins.json.corrupt file in the profile directory
- I'm running FF on Linux and there is no "Old data" or similar subdirectory
- for the same reason, I do not run AVG or any other MS Windows utility and no external program touched directories with FF profiles
- FF restart did not help but, surprise, the form filling continued working
- I tried to create new empty profile, copy logins.json and key4.db files into it and start FF with this new profile - resulted same behavior
After more debugging, I've found the probable cause: in logins.json file, the first item contains unecrypted username and password instead of encrypted ones. As a test, I stopped FF, removed this item from logins.json and restarted FF. Now, everything looks OK, for the first sight.
1. Is it really OK or something else crashes tomorrow? :) 2. What's the correct way to fix such issue? 3. Is it a known problem? I cannot reproduce it in any way nor I know what caused this corruption. So I cannot report new Bug.
Thanks for your answers. Milan
