I recently had a computer crash - self inflicted - by mistakenly opting for a total reset when I did not understand what this would result in. A friend has helped me get back to being able to use my computer again, but I have lost all my Firefox browser passwords and my Thunderbird email contact list. Would Firefox have kept this information and be able to give me back my passwords somehow. I am a 87 year old Aussie and not a computer nerd !! Cheers Lozza
