Like the title says, all of my logins and passwords are suddenly gone. I found a logins.json.corrupt in the profile folder, and tried renaming it to logins.json, but it didn't remember anything. Is there any way to get these passwords back? Or find out what the cause of this was? I lost some really valuable logins that I stupidly did not backup.

Did you use Sync?

Are you using Sync? Do you only have one profile folder ?

Did you ever used the refresh feature in Firefox and possibly have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop ?
