obscure logins.corrupt
Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.
But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)
Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation
TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.
What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.
Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?
Thanks
Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

Hey there! Regarding your a) The files were not renamed, they were created and stored. Honestly the average user doesn't really know what to do or what it would mean when they got a notification like "Hey, logins.json is corrupt!". They'd be like "Which Johnson are they talking about", you get it. As long as nothing critically happens, it's stored but the user is better off just logging in again to one site than getting a pop-up additionally.
b) I already said it, no need since they experience the problem by having to log in again and that's it.
c) It happens silently when the file is partially written, interrupted, or misread.
The obscure: Someone used your PC, shut it down causing the files to be corrupted since they were partially written, interrupted.
Did that help?
Sorry for the misleading wording regarding obscure:
What i tried to say: Somebody was sitting at my pc and postet intentionally. (edit:Using Firefox)
The question is: could there be the possibility of an attack to the posters browser/pc by somebody at google/youtube/fux nus/etc who didnt like the posts? It may be just a coincidence but if this happens again after such a post i get suspicious.
Regarding corrupt: I didnt get it. who named them "corrupt" after copying? And if that happens. How can anybody not interested in the fact that he just lost all his login credentials after restart? Which seems critically to me.

Sounds like hibernation is messing up Firefox’s password files — I’ve seen similar issues. Try running without hibernate for a few days and check your drive. The timing with that post is probably just coincidence. Even at Phonexa, most corruptions like this come from the system, not the app.
OK but who named the files "corrupt" and keeps silent about this. The system?
