I refreshed Firefox and lost all my passwords, this according to the description of "Refresh" was not supposed to happen. There is only one profile. What if anything can I do to get all my pwords back? Thanks for your help.

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