Lost All Passwords on Upgrade to FF33

Clicked update Firefox and when FF restarted all my passwords were gone. I've SYNC activated, everything is there, except the passwords.
I use firefox for long time now, but this makes me want to change and never come back. It's free, it's open source and has been awesome until this stupid bug ???
I'm very disappointed with firefox and the team behind this, shame on you.

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 that has been used before (the matching key3.db file is still needed).
If you still have the signons.sqlite file used in previous Firefox versions then you can try to force Firefox to migrate the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32+ versions).
You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file and rebuild the logins.json file with these steps:
* reset the <b>signon.importedFromSqlite</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the <b>logins.json</b> 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)
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • Lost all applications after upgrading

    Hi, I've just got a 3GS and was trying to sync with itunes to activate the phone
    Here's what happened:
    1. Did a back up with previous phone (3G) with iTunes.
    2. Connect new 3GS with iTunes.
    3. Sync/restore new 3GS
    4. Update phone firmware to version 4.1
    After doing the above and restarting, everything else is ok (restored correctly) except for all my applications. They are all gone now. Can anyone help me out here? any steps that i missed out and is there anything that i can do to restore all the applications?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem, except I realised I haven't lost all my applications but there's a blank page between original applications and bought applications, so it looked like they weren't there.
    I can't work out a way of moving everything across to the left and getting rid of the blank page though.
    Anyone with any ideas?

  • Lost all sound on upgrade to 7.0.3 from 6.5.2

    Hi,
    I am a total computer idiot and I need help. I've upgraded from QT 6.5.2 to 7.0.3; after I did that I lost (almost) all sound when playing QT movies. Files saved to my hard-drive that used to play with sound no longer do so. And QT files found online (through apple trailers, for example) no longer play with sound.
    I say "almost" as there are a few files on my hard drive which still have sound. There's nothing special about these files which I can see though. One of them is an .mov, but all the rest of my .mov files don't have sound. The other is a .mpg, but all the rest of my .mpg files don't have sound.
    After some reading about in this forum I found some genral comments about ones midi settings. Checked those against what are supposed to be the correct values, and they seem fine.
    So anyone have any idea about what might be up? Seriously, suggest anything, even the most obvious stuff.
    thanks

    I have the same problem but with the QT 7.0.4...
    Try to reinstall QT 6.5.2 (in 2 steps)
    1) reinstall 7.0.1

    In my case 7.0.1 doesn't work too... may be an additional coded ?? but i have no time to analyse.
    2) reinstall 6.5.2

  • Lost all Ical-data upgrading to iCloud

    Hello,
    My wife and I chared a mobileme-account.
    2 months ago I switched to Icloud, she continued using her Ical on het mac without synchronising it.
    Today I installed lion on her mac. The computer automatically synchronised her Ical with the cloud and overwrote the local calendar. We lost al the new made appointments.
    Can anybody help?
    Tx,
    Philippe

    I have just had the same arroying experience. I had mobileme and iCal on laptop working fine. Could see calendars in both. Then got iPhone 3G and it synch'ed the calendars to it fine. Went and stupidly upgraded to 2.0.1 and low and behold come to use iCal on G4 laptop (leoprd 10.5.4) and have no calendars. Look on mobile me - no calandars....eeek. Look at iPhone - still there - sighs with relief - assumes can restore to iCal on mac - wrong. Doesn't work. Odd. So read a few posts on here and someone recommended going into settings and turning off calendar syching in mobileme account. BAD move. Gave me the option of turning off calendars when I did that - turning off mind...not removing...so I said OK (surely they would say if this was going to delete them)....then turned back on....silly me. Boom! the iPhone synched with mobileme and replaced the good calendars with no calendars. So I've managed to remove all cals from all places - quite an achievement. Thanks Apple.
    Any ideas how I go about restoring the calendars?

  • Lost all passwords suddenly

    i used to sync all my passwords earlier but now they are not syncing,it was untick when i found that i could not get to use the saved passwords.what could have caused to loose all my passwords and i want to recover ,my lost passwords,anyone help me please .?

    I highly doubt that. Whenever an application tries to access the keychain for the first time, OS X requires that you authorize it.
    There is no reason that VB would have needed to do this in the past, so OS X would have asked you to allow VB to access the keychain, unless there were some serious permissions issues.
    I really am not sure what happened to tell you the truth.
    Maybe a look at the logs from that time would do some good. Was there anything funny trying to access the keychain?

  • Lost all emails after upgrade

    I've just upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 from an old version of Tiger. In the process I have managed to lose all my emails. I can neither send nor receive emails through Mac Mail, and when I click on the Mail icon in the dock, I can't even see the mailboxes. Any thoughts? I understand that this is a fairly common problem. Do I need to set up Mail again?

    Ernie
    Just tried this. No joy. See below for my notes on your answers
    First let's see if the messages are still there, as I expect. YES Open a POP account folder -- do you find an INBOX.mbox folder, YES and if so, and open it, does it contain anything other than one Info.plist file (might not be there) and one Messages folder? Open the Messages folder -- does it contain a lot of xxxx.emlx files? YES If so, that means the message content is present, and should be retrievable.
    If the various xxxx.mbox folders when observed indicate message content still present, then we can proceed.
    When you upgraded to Leopard, was it immediately the version 10.5.6 -- that is, you never had Leopard running in an earlier version? THAT IS CORRECT
    This is what I understood your first posts to report. If that is the case, make sure to Quit Mail, and then in the Finder drag all the file named to start with MessageRules to the desktop. Now relaunch Mail -- do any messages now display? If so, then you can restore those MessageRule . . . files after quitting Mail. I'VE DONE ALL THAT. ONE FILE IS MARKED MESSAGE RULES AND IT IS NOW ON DESKTOP
    If no message yet display, again quit Mail, open the Mail folder in the Finder again, find the Envelope Index file and drag it to the Desktop (for later deleting probably). AGAIN NOW ON DESKTOP If you have any IMAP account, drag those account folders out of the Mail folder. NOT SURE WHAT AN IMAP ACCOUNT IS - SORRY Relaunch Mail, which should announce it is ready to import your email -- allow that to continue, and it should discover and reindex the message content from all the existing mailboxes.
    Does that make any sense? Any other help would be appreciated.

  • Lost all bookmarks after upgrading to FF4 and help page solutions no help

    Upgraded to FF4. All was well for the first few days then all of a sudden my bookmarks were gone. I've been through all the topics on the help page and still cannot access any bookmarks or even add new bookmarks. Bookmarks is just totally disabled. Went back to IE but hate how slow it is. I just want to be able to create new bookmarks if I can't find my old ones.

    See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
    It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

  • Lost all contacts with upgrade to iOS 6.1

    Has anyone else had this problem - upgraded earlier today to iOS 6.1 as prompted, and then later all my contacts disappeared. 
    Also followed prompts to set up iCloud syncing for the first time, but can't find contacts there either. 
    Any recommendations? 
    Thanks

    For me, this is what worked:
    I noticed the last contact I added was in the Address Book, but all others were gone or missing.
    I went to MS Outlook and ran the Sync program.  Unchecked all options.  Restarted the computer.  Made sure the iCloud stuff was turned off on the phone and restarted it too for good measure.
    When the macbook came back up when into outlook then MS Sync and turned contacts back on.  Then connected the iphone and told it to replace all contacts.  It worked.
    Good luck.  There is no one solution that seems to work for everyone, but testing different settings will hopefully get you to the point where your contacts go back onto the phone.
    Cheers

  • 3GS lost all music in upgrade to ios5 via iTunes.

    Last week iTunes suggested I upgrade my 3GS phone to iOS5, which I happily did and followed instructions carefully, and all the iPod content is gone now. "No Content!" is what I see on the phone and there's nothing on it as seen by iTunes either.   I had done a complete backup before upgrading. Should I figure out how to restore that backup now, or what?  (And, if so, how DO you restore a backup, since it sure isn't obvious and there's no "RESTORE" button to click.)  Thanks.

    iTunes does not back up your music when performing a backup before an upgrade or otherwise. It is your responsibility to make sure your music is backed up.
    Unless you have a backup of your music somewhere else, it is gone. If you are in the US and a few other countries, you can get purchased music back by clicking on purchases on the right column in iTunes when at the home screen.

  • Lost ALL projects when upgrading

    We have a lot of iMovie projects built in iLife '08 -- after running the iLife '09 installer and launching iMovie '09 -- these projects won't appear in iMovie.
    The projects still exist in the /Movies/iMovies Projects/ folder -- but they do not appear in iMovie.
    We tried double-clicking on these project files -- and they opened iMovie '09 -- but still did not appear in the project list.
    Do they need to be imported? Upgraded?
    Thoughts anyone?

    Here is a bit more. I noticed that when I upgraded it didn't "find" all of my projects as I had archived quite a few on an external hard drive; that in fact wasn't formatted for Mac (DOS). Even when I moved them to an internal drive (I have 4) it still didn't find them; I couldn't even double click to load them.
    I believe that in order for iMovie to find your projects they have to be in a folder called "iMovie Projects" but at the minimum - if you don't have them there you will want to trash your iMovie preferences and rebuild the library file. When I trashed my preferences it found them all.
