After 58.0.2 installed itself on my Windows 10 computer, all my bookmarks and passwords disappeared. After rummaging around the web, I found a way to recover my bookmarks, but none to recover my passwords. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

I discovered that my default profile changed by itself to another disk. After I corrected it and replaced its password file with the old one, my passwords were restored.

It happened as soon as Firefox updated to 58.0.2. Copying the old files from the Old Firefox Data profile to the new one did not work.
