I am being requested to re-enter passwords for my ISP login and banking, but not supplier websites. None of this happened on my notebook, only on my PC. Would this weirdness be selinux reactivation related, update related, or something more nefarious? I don't have enough experience with Linux security to understand what may have happened. Any input would be appreciated... -- Run ls -Z ~/.mozilla/*/* to see if mozilla_home_t is in place.
It is...
But this may be related to known problem, Firefox 23breaks browser profile, double form entries, and sometimes browsing history can not be completely deleted. Patched in Firefox 24. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967159
The weird thing is that it also did it to one email profile in thunderbird. In firefox and the one case in thunderbird, the usernames and/or login entries are still there - just the passwords are missing. Does this bug also affect thunderbird?
Try to run Firefox in safe mode (firefox -safe-mode). Or copy your existing profile connect, load it as independent (firefox -P profile.copy) then search with sqlitemaner for your stuff. -or look if you have profile backup.
