Do you see names and passwords in the [[Passwords|Password Manager]] window?<br /> Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" (Show Passwords) Rename [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and signons.sqlite (Firefox 3.5) and all signons#.txt files (if any exist, Firefox 3.0 uses signons3.txt) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile_Folder].<br /> You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old , signons.sqlite.old , signons3.txt.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and you lose all your currently saved passwords. If that has worked then you can remove the no longer needed renamed .old files. If you see passwords in the Password Manager (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords > "Saved Passwords") then you can save the existing passwords with the Password Exporter extension before renaming the files and re-import them afterward. * Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848 Check that the exported (xml) file has all the names and passwords.

why is such a bs considered a solution ??? "you lose all your currently saved passwords". and if that's the case, why making it more complicated than necessary - just say re-install! sorry mate, but me and 51 unsatisfied readers at the time (May 2012) were looking for a solution and not more problems by been forced to retype hundreds of passwords!
