Gone are all saved passwords.
After my laptop is discharged, when the browser is turned on, I discovered that all my saved passwords are lost. None of the tips I found through Google did not help (run in safe mode, create a new profile, restore an older version ...). In the folder with the profile of the browser was the file logins.json.corrupt that I hope to recover. Can you tell how to do it?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.
I've already written that I launched the browser in safe mode and it did not help. There is nowhere a specified folder. Yes, I know that passwords should be recorded elsewhere. But I do not want to rewrite them again, each time when charge of my laptop is end.
Hi !
To prevent this from happening again:
You want to avoid discharging the battery to an extreme level, it can damage the battery. Lithium ion batteries do not have a memory effect, and do not need to be "exercised" - whoever tells you otherwise is very misinformed. Charge and discharge as needed.
If you want to keep your battery in good condition for the longest period of time, avoid unnecessary battery use; lithium-ion batteries have a certain number of charge cycles they can go through before their battery life is affected. If you have access to AC power, use it instead of the battery when you can (it's not necessary to remove the battery). Also keep the battery away from extreme heat, and avoid running it down completely.
This is all great, but I ask completely different. Is it possible to recover the saved passwords of the damaged file, and if so how?
In addition to the excellent advice that FredMcD has already given you, all I can think of:
Go to the 3-bar menu and then:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
You can't use %APPDATA% to access the profile folder on a drive that is not the current Windows System drive.
The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
Rather late to post advice but for future reference see
