What happened to my favorites list for Personas add-on?

more options

I had to reset my firefox after this "sweetim" thing got set up on it (not sure where it came from, I just suddenly found it)...readded the Personas add-on that I have been using for years and have bunches of favorites on, and when I went to sign in to retrieve my favorites list: no favorites! I logged in with the correct password on the "new" personas website thing (I guess its the new personas site merged onto the mozilla website) - and no favorites list! I had all kinds of favorties! at least a hundred or two!!!!! wth?????

You might need to create a new login. Check out the numbered choices following the "What it means for you as a getpersonas.com user" heading in the following blog post: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2013/02/28/getpersonas-com-migration-update/

Can you get back to your favorites?

If that doesn't work, there might be some identifier or other critical settings in the Old Firefox Data folder that the Reset feature adds to your desktop. Unfortunately, I have no idea what setting that would be. Hopefully another user can say, or you might need to check with the author of the relevant extension.

....did you properly read my question, sir? My login is fine. The problem is that my favorites list is WIPED OUT. GONE. NO LONGER THERE. Creating a new login IS NOT going to solve this issue, sir!

I misunderstood the article the first time I read it, so apologies for that.
