Will someone remind me how to recover the hundreds of passwords that

nothing in the release notes except an unhelpful suggestion to create a
new profile and migrate various data types (such as passwords) one at a
time, but no guidance on /how/ to do so. RTFM didn't help, either.
Your passwords should have been in your profile as signons.sqlite, also
necessary is: key3.db
I don't see how they could have been entirely lost, (First I have heard
of this issue, fwiw) what is your *symptoms* of this loss?
Do you have any addons that you manually enabled?
Actually, it turns out they weren't /lost/ per se. When I visit sites
that require logins, SM seems to remember them. But when I open the Data
Manager, either directly or through the Password Manager menu item, I
can't see any passwords -- it lists no sites and no passwords, so I
can't "manage" them in any useful sense, and the old button "Show stored
passwords" is gone. I have plenty of "Permissions," but these seem to be
related to cookie settings and not to logins.
And I've searched through every menu and every pref and can't find
anything about importing anything, so if I ever wanted to import
passwords from another profile or something, I couldn't. Or have you
hidden it too well for me?
I do have the files signons.sqlite, 51 KB, and key3.db, 16 KB, FWIW.
