zedaxax Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I recently due to pc messup reinstalled (fresh) firefox and saved my profiles folder.(i did not export my passwords...) However they dont register if i drag and drop the signons.txt into the profiles folder since they seem to be profile specific. Is there any way of retrieving them? I desperatly need two of my lost passwords. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpgeek Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The signons.txt file is encrypted, and another file in the profile folder named key3.db is the encryption key. If you didn't backup the key3 file the same time you backed up the signons file, then you're outta luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
