I transferred the whole profile from a perfectly working 2.0.0.14 installation to a new machine and installed 3.0rc2.
Bookmarks were imported correctly, but personal settings (like allowed noscript-sites, or even worse, all saved passwords!) were gone

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove 2.0.0.14
2. install 3.0rc2
3.
Actual Results:  
All passwords gone

Expected Results:  
All personal settings and passwords are there like before
The installer does not touch profiles. Over to General for triage

Before I forget, additional search engines were lost as well.
