I have read MANY other people experiencing this problem, and I have seen no good answers. (Some answers require several days of parsing, and I don't have that much time.) Every time Firefox updates itself automatically, it loses most of my passwords!! Yes, I've read there is a "profile" yadda yadda yadda. But does that mean I need to jump through all kinds of loops when this automatic update happens? If so, I will gladly leave Firefox and move to another browser. I have never experienced such difficulty with any browser, never with Safari, which I left only because it wasn't working with many websites. I use a Mac, OS 10.6.8 Thank you
