Firefox deleted all my passwords and usernames

Firefox 17.0.1 for Mac deleted all my logins (no warning) and does not save any password ; it used to do that but now this does not work

Sorry about the menu path for Windows.
Seeing "Remember History" means that all history and cookie settings are set to the defaults. 
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
If the settings are correct then you may have an extension that is preventing filling passwords.
Do all the names and passwords show in the password manager?
Do you get a drop down list when you type the first letters of a stored name in a website form?

Firefox deleted all of my saved usernames and passwords for the sites i allowed them, For instance I can no longer click gmail and be at my e-mail and see my email, but i am promoted for password and username.

''passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased''
Did you have them after updating Firefox, or did you lose your passwords as well. If you lost everything you either created a new profile and are in it, or you accidentally/intentionally cleared your history (see picture link). If you cleared your history, the changes are permanent and they are gone.
If you cleared your history, except for bookmarks in backups, you will have to try for
#Data in an older profile, for most people this would only be if one accidentally created a new profile, such as during a Firefox installation.
#Your own backups
#Old password, cookies from Internet Explorer
Use the "Alt" key to temporarily see your toolbars. Use the view menu to display any toolbars that should be displayed, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Check these:
*Do you have bookmarks Ctrl+B (Bookmarks sidebar), if you don't see your own bookmarks but you see those from when you first installed Firefox, you are probably in a new profile, using the Profile Manager could bring up another profile.
*Check your current bookmarkbackups for dates
:On current profile, you can check dates, and restore/replace current bookmarks from a backup. "Ctrl+Shift+B" to bring up the Library List, then in the "Import and Backup" menu, choose Restore to see what dates are available. This will tell you the last 11 dates you used your current profile in Fx5 (5 days if Fx3). You can restore if your bookmarks are messed up.
Profile: ''Find out if there are multiple profiles''
:type in '''about:support''' into the location bar :Click on "Open containing folder" :You are now in your current profile :go up one directory level to "'''Profiles'''", where you can see if you have more than one profile directory :files of interest (check last used/update dates) within profile: places.sqlite file, and within bookmarkbackups folder are .json bookmark backups for dates.
'''Deleting History/Lost History''' (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" anything but cache. The items you have check-marked there will be cleared at end of session if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is check-marked. If under tools you click on "Clear recent history Ctrl+Shift+Del" you should be asked for how much history to delete {1hr, 2hr, 4hr, today, everything} and what to clear in the details drop-down. Make sure when using the location bar you are displaying both "History and Bookmarks" so the AwesomeBar can look for items from both.

'''You should be backing your for Firefox profiles''', there is not a lot of data and you should be backing up frequently. The is a lot more data for other applications in you Windows user library and you should be backing up data from there as well.
When you backup all of your user data to external hard-drive (500GB to 3TB) your Firefox profiles would be included.
But this is about Firefox. For Firefox a thumb drive would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.
'''backing up your Firefox Profiles''' (the following is all on one line)
xcopy C:\Users\''<username>''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.* /s /d /h /y /c /q

I deleted all my passwords in Firefox. Who do I get them back?

I deleted all my passwords in Firefox. How do I get them back?

Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

I try to delete the things I have typed in, like passwords and usernames and things like that. Before I got the new download, it always worked. Now it won't. Help?

When I get on facebook, youtube, or yahoo, I type in my password and username. Other people get on this computer, and I don't want them to know my username or passwords. But when I clear the history, it doesn't clear it anymore. Before I had the new download it would always clear.

POP password and username issues

I've had an inconsistent issue with email.
Every once and a while I get a message, while trying to connect and get email, saying that the pop password and username are incorrect. Which they are not. And then my mail will either download right after that, or download a while later.
Has anyone experienced this?

Does this only happen when using Edge to download
mail? Or does it happen with both Edge and WiFi?
If only Edge, I would venture a guess that maybe the
edge network is cutting out and your
username/password gets a bit scrambled. Then later
the Edge network connection is fine and it can get
the mail.
sound like a reasonable explanation. (sort of, drag about getting things all scrambly)
It only happens when I'm using Edge.
If you read or hear anything else on it please post here.
Thanks for the feedback

Everytime I close firefox it loses my passwords and settings

everytime I close firefox it loses my passwords and settings, I went and took the tick out of the box so that when I clean my cache they should not be deleted. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and it still will not remember passwords etc. I am running windows 7, plenty of ram and gigs to spare. This time I installed mozilla firefox yahoo!7 edition yahooauk-1.8 it says it is up to date

Go to Options -> Advanced -> General and turn off hardware acceleration.

Keychain periodically deletes all my passwords!

Hi guys. For some reason, Keychain will periodically delete all the passwords I have saved for no apparent reason. This is the third time it's happened and it's really starting to make me wary of using it at all. Each time it's hapened after I turn off my iMac overnight then switch it on the next day and poof! - passwords deleted. I've tried 'Keychain First Aid' in "Keychain -> Access -> Keychain menu" but each time it tells me that there's nothing wrong with it. Can someone please offer any suggestions? Thanks.

heres some instructions. http://www.dartmouth.edu/comp/support/library/software/os-help/reinstall-mac-osx /reinstall-osx.html

Will updating my ipad delete all the files and apps i have there?

Will updating my ipad delete all the files and apps i have there?

Perform a complete backup before hand and all will be well. You just restore the backup after the update. If you have a backup password, be sure you haven't forgotten it. The details of what is backed up differ a bit if you are outside of the states. Read this article for details:

My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

You have data corruption. restore your phone and set it up as a new device. Not from backup

My ipod deleted all my notes and I REALLY need them back! How can I get them back!?

For some reason my ipod touch 5 deleted all my notes and all the mail in my inbox its all gone. I do not have the iOS 6.1 update though. So I dont know how this could have happened. I have not backed up my ipod to my computer since I got it because thats not how I use it. But my sisters ipod 4 also for some reason had my notes downloaded onto hers? And she has recently backed up her ipod on the computer. But once the notes on mine were deleted so were hers. But since she has recently backed hers up maybe I can restore the to her ipod then to mine. If so how would I do this? I really need those notes back they were REALLY important! Thanks!

Your only hope is restoring from the bakup of your sister's iPod. For how see the restoring topic of:
