    I've suddenly had to retype a bunch of passwords, including banking
    passwords, in firefox and thunderbird. I had selinux disabled on my
    PC and notebook and reactivated it. The strange thing is that
    thunderbird did not lose all of my email passwords, only one. The
    same on my PC. 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.

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?



Dunno, I haven't tested yet. You can try https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=Password+Manager
Maybe solution will appear^
also https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Password_Manager_Debugging
In the worst case- make a current profile backup, downgrade to FF22 to see if stuff is still there.
