How to restore my saved passwords?

Just by mistake, I deleted all my saved passwords. In any case to restore. Using FireFox 34.0.5. Help, please

If you still have the signons.sqlite which was used in a previous version of Firefox, then you can try to restore the password stored in this file.

32 of Firefox and later versions store the passwords in the file logins.json in the profile folder and no longer use the file signons.sqlite that was used before (the corresponding signons3.txt file is always required).
If you have the file signons.sqlite used in previous versions of Firefox, then you can try to force Firefox to migrate passwords stored in this file (you lose passwords saved in Firefox 32 + versions).
You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:

  • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
  • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true and you should have the passwords into password manager, unless he could have errors.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.
