Did you try to close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer?
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!??
Did you mean Windows password recovery? I think you need to recover lost password here: http://www.recoverlostpassword.com
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.
