Restored Missing Firefox Saved Passwords After Upgraded To Latest Version

Few days ago i have upgraded my Firefox browser to the latest 3.5.1 version, everything looks fine until i found that all my saved password is gone when finished upgrading. I dont know if this is one of Firefox bug or i’m made mistaken while upgrading, but finally i can restored all my Saved Passwords.

I have tried many ways including repaired my Firefox profile files (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile) and find some hidden files, but still not worked, then i tried these:

First i rolling back my latest Firefox (3.5.1) to the previous version before upgraded. Uninstall Firefox, then reinstall with previous version, you can find all Firefox version in Filehippo

After installing the previous version, my Saved Passwords has restored, and to avoid missing again, i backup my Saved Passwords with Password Exporter Firefox add ons.

Then i started to upgrade again, and when finished, i restore my Saved Passwords backup in CSV format. Now i have my Saved Password restored in Firefox 3.5.1 (currently the latest version)

El Nino,

I did all the steps above, deleted 3.5.1, and then loaded 3.0.13 but no passwords were restored, and firefox will still not save my passwords.

I am going to try to do this again but go all the way back to 3.0 I hope this works…

I am really getting sick of firefox. this is happening 3th times to me. After upgrading, i lost alllllllllllllll my saved passwords. Which means more than 200 passwords were stored.
Now , i have to find all that sites and have to click Forgot Password link to retrieve all back. But before doing that i have to Completely UNINSTALL this stupid browser.

@jason:
200 password, cant imagine to restore them manually

Anyway i heard many positive review about Password Recovery Bundle 2010, their license price around USD$ 20 (actually i forgot)
