I have just restarted PM after a several days long session only to find out login forms being reset. It's completely weird, because passwords are still there (although those do seem to get wiped completely randomly once in a long(er) time too), but the usernames are gone.
Is this by chance an intended behaviour or could this be a bug/data corruption of some sort/something?
edit: I use the Session Manager addon, which is the only thing that I think could theoretically be related, but other than that I am just confused.

Re: Login forms being reset?
Is there any change to your saved passwords in password manager, i.e. are you still able to see both usernames and passwords?

Did you change privacy settings? Clearing "Search and form history" will remove those fields.

Nope, not at all.
I am aware. I did a clean during the session, but I made sure only cache option was ticked.

Re: Login forms being reset?
I also ran into quite annoying side effect to this.
With the usernames deleted, the password manager is broken and even if I type an username in the form manually, it doesn't get saved. When I Tab to the password field, it gets filled (still saved), but the username is still not there. I have to delete the entire entry for the website and save it again during logging in.
edit: for clarification, both usernames and passwords are still saved in the password manager correcly, but the browser doesn't offer the credentials at all.
