Firefox refuses to remember my passwords
May 26th, 2009
I’ve had a few issues with my Firefox previously, but this time it somehow forgot all my saved passwords and stopped offering to remember new ones. This one was a quickie, but I’ll post it for later reference.
This problem can be fixed by removing the files key3.db and signons3.txt from your Firefox profile directory. On Unix, it’s usually a random generated directory under ~/.mozilla/firefox. Be aware that removing these files will remove any stored passwords – mine were already gone though.
