The Security page under Firefox Preferences no longer has a "Passwords" section. How can I get it back?

When I look at the Security page under Preferences, I see a "General" section and a "Logins" section but no "Passwords" section. I have a .png screenshot of this page, but I could not add it as an image. The scripting code for the "Browse" button hung when I tried to add it. (I tried converting the screenshot file to a pdf file and uploading it, but that attempt hung the "Browse" function as well.)

Are you using the default Firefox Theme or a third-party complete Theme from addons.mozilla.org ?

Have you tried another GTK theme on your OS ?

Keep in mind that Fred above uses Windows and is not a Linux user so he can only help so much.

Are you using the Firefox version from the official Mozilla servers or the version from the repositories of your Linux distribution?

Try the version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution. You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (43.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:
