Just got the latest update today. No passwords were retained (although the .json file looks intact). Tried all the listed tricks (e.g, clearing cache) but nothing works. Pale Moon asks if I want to store the password, but doesn't actually store the password even though it's allowed to do so both generally and for specific websites. Also, it won't create a new .json file if I rename or move the old one (and yes, it's running as an administrator). I don't see a solution on this forum for the very latest update, only for older ones (e.g., going into about:config and resetting an old value which no longer exists in this update). Any ideas?

Which version did you update from?

Also, please provide the troubleshooting information asked for.

I had the same problem after upgrading from 31.3.0 to 31.3.0.1. I have since reverted back to 31.3.0.

Did reverting to that version help?
"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

That makes no sense, since nothing even remotely close to password storage was changed. Literally the only change was reverting something in layout that was new to 31.3.0...

Save password completely ok :)
I just tested this with my Palemoon standard profile & with a new profile. I did not learn the slightest problem with saving new access data :thumbup:
