Upgrading to Windows 10 seems to have deleted ALL my stored passwords on Firefox accounts?

I have two Firefox accounts. One of them was logged in and saving all my logins and passwords like normal, all was good... Then I did a Windows 10 upgrade, and these passwords are nowhere to be found on either of my accounts. I thought that these were saved to the account not the computer??? I'm hoping to get these back, because there were a lot... :( Thanks for any advice.

All user data is stored in the Firefox profile in the users computer folder.

What about the rest of your profile? Settings, bookmarks, history, passwords . . . .

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Hi Sig, sorry to hear about this problem.

For really major system changes, Windows may move your entire old user folder under a temporary folder:

C:\Windows.old

Can you find such a folder on your system?

If so:

Before proceeding, please set Windows to show you hidden files and folders: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files

Then check here:

C:\Windows.old\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

You might just have one profile folder, or you might have more than one. Saved logins use a pair of files, and you can copy them to the Desktop to try in your currently live profile:

  • logins.json
  • key4.db

Sorry, I am not finding such a file and I think it may be because old info such as the old firefox files were stored on a hard drive I recently reformatted...
