Retrieving passwords from old profile?


Recommended Posts

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

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.
