Apparently, Mozilla doesn't think it's too much of a big deal since they already set the bug to "resolved":

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454993

In their world, telling someone to downgrade and/or "just live without your passwords for a while" is sufficiant.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+use+or+save+passwords+after+upgrading+Firefox
Attempted to upgrade to FF3 on home XP system (university student version). Did nothing but crash every time I attempted to start. Finally got to work but couldn't save any bookmarks, etc..

Full uninstall of FF3 and reinstall of FF2 and all is well, except that all my bookmarks are gone.
That FF2 update is quite the disaster, I tried it on a FF2 and now the browser crashes left and right, crashes after ten minutes showing a static page, crashes when you select search for updates, crashes when you submit a comment on a site, and when you close it it also 5 out of 6 times instead of closing causes a crash and the windows message 'firefox.exe had to be closed'.
Makes you wonder if they are trying to get rid of FF2 users, although after that they might move to opera rather than FF3.

The FF3 update seems smooth though for me, although I'm missing the 'removed awfulbar' or 'added option to not have the awfulbar' fix :/
Hi

Just to inform that some upgrades will fail and stored password are not working after upgrade. Fix is to downgrade back to 3.0.1

3.0.3 is out. It resolves the pw issue and such.
oh crap i've already installed it pending a restart.... oh well here goes
I have found 3.0.2 seems to be slower on loading/playing of videos....
