326407 - Lost most of all passwords

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 317168

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[bj.theoldman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

After upgrading to 1.5.0.1 from 1.0.7 (I believe) I lost pretty much all my passwords that I has stored.  This was about 50 passwords.  It still retained about 10 passwords, but lost the rest of them.

Also at the same time, it lost all my bookmarks that I had saved, which amounted to about 50 of those also.

I do not have a problem with disk space as I have 81% free, so that is no an issue.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from 1.0.7 to 1.5.0.1
2. Unsure if it will do the same thing again as I don't have 1.0.7(?) which I would prefer as it didn't cause these kind of problems.
3.




I am unsure if this can be repoduced again, all though I have heard from friends that it has happened to them on XP machines.

Try starting all over again with a new profile, and copy the files bookmarks.html, signons.txt and key3.db to the new profile.
