all my saved passwords disappeared and FF wont let me resave them
One night i was working on the computer and when i came back to it i noticed that my sites where i saved my password were not there? So i went to my saved passwords and ALL of them were gone! I ma the only one who uses this computer and i didnt do a thing that i know of? and now it wont remember what you typed in a field and it askes if i want to save a password but it wont let me! i dont think i have any viruses and i am good at keeping up on cleaning the cookies and other stuff and this is the first time i had this problem!
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== A few weeks ago i just been living with it, but i want to get it fixed!!!

1. Please, update you Flash. An actively exploited security hole in Adobe Flash 10.0 r45 and earlier can compromise your computer.
2. Some information about passwords, though I don't know whether it helps:
Usernames and passwords are not saved
Firefox may be set to remove saved passwords when it is closed. To undo this setting:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Tools menu, and select Options.... Select the Privacy panel. If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history and Clear history when Firefox closes is selected, click on the Settings... button. Make sure that Saved Passwords is not selected. Click OK to close the Options window
Firefox is now configured to not clear your passwords when closing.
"This may be useless advice, but I've seen reports stating that reinstalling Firefox fixes this kind of issues. Please try it and confirm if it does it for you. I hope it does. "
well i just did a FF update and flash update and they all came back! i didnt have to go program them back in, when you say security breech should i go in and change all my passwords?
Thanks for the help!
