Can't you just restore from backup to a state when it worked? That allows you at least conveniently pulling the logins out, and then, you can search which of your backups contains a change that broke them. It'd be limited to an entire day or whatever your backup frequency is (especially more if it already rolled over to weeklies/10days/whatever you use), but at least you have a shot at finding the problem. Such restores are much, much easier with btrfs snapshots, but doable even with plain rsync. Obviously, you need to actually have backups, but you do have them, right? > > Can't find any configs in about:config to enable a > > master passord or learning of new login data without "sync", > > "pocket", etc. > A web search suggests the relevant files are in > ~.mozilla/firefox/"profile" in keys* and sone sqllite files. Rolling back/forward just the ~/.mozilla/ dir instead of the whole system would be far less work -- I'd suggest trying that first. It'd tell you if it's some change to Firefox's config or to stuff in /usr/ and friends.
