A warning would be nice ?

Unread post by JXL2112 » 2021-05-08, 04:48

Upgraded to the latest 29.2 and found all my passwords gone and one of my add-ons disabled.

I made a backup so I just jumped back.

You need to check if a PM compatible addon exists.
Maybe you need to fork it.

@ JXL2112

There was a warning and it was posted on April 22nd. You did not read the warning.

There were warnings about the temporary nature of it much earlier than that too. The warnings inside the add-on manager in november, the clear statement about using Firefox extensions that I posted the January before, etc.

Isn't there also the setting "Warn when this update disables addons" in PM (except for the DEB packages) enabled by default?

~~~
I'm sorry, I was really talking about the update deleting all my user ID's and Passwords. Is that a bug or some kind of change over?

Is there anyway to get all the PASSWORDS imported into the newer version?

The add-on is small potatoes but it does break my work flow.

They fucked up and made a huge version jump i bet. See DPMO on Profile Migration. Also, this shit WAS mentioned in release notes as well.

I was using 29.1.0....thought 29.2.0 would be minor bug fix. I usually just upgrade from inside Pale Moon and it's mostly no drama.

Still not sure why my passwords were all deleted?

BTW: The warning notice would right before you run the update.

I dunno how you screwed up your password store.

No idea either because there were no changes to the password manager between those versions -- UNLESS of course you trusted your password handling to an extension and it stored things in a non-standard way and as a result you lost access to them.
