I received a message about refreshing my Firefox. Before I did anything, it refreshed. I lost my passwords, etc. and a Old Firefox data folder was placed on my desktop. I tried to follow the instructions in the FAQs to no avail. I do, however, have Firefox on another computer on my network. Is there a way to move the passwords? I can reinstall add-ons, etc.

This link might help If you can access a profile folder that still contains the passwords.
