I cleared my search history. Next time I try to log in to something, I found out that Firefox had deleted all saved passwords. I use Password manager.

Is your password manager a separate program? Contact its support.

If you are talking about the Firefox Password Manager,

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

Glad to help. Safe Surfing.

I use an add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.

Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.

If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.

Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.
