Obviously then you have never "reset" firefox. That makes it a brand new
install, clearing ALL your passwds and logins and restoring ALL its
defaults. I still do not have full access to my bank although online
purchases are working. It did NOT warn me of that 'side' effect. So
yes, I'm pi$$ed, I've had to do new passwd resets at all the places I do
business with. And while chromium has remembered a few of the renewed
ones, it is not saving them all. And I've yet to decipher why. So I
need to pull down a whole slew of post-it notes and put up new ones.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
