Import passwords from a previous version of Firefox
I need to import passwords from a previous version of Firefox (3..0.5) in version 28.0. I've read other threads, but they refer to signons.sqlite I did not, on the contrary, there is a key3.dB (which does not seem to contain valid details but with names/passwords encrypted. However, I have a signons3.txt.
What would be the best way to import them, preferably without uninstalling V28, install 3.0.5 transfer the necessary files, then the upgrade several times until the signons.sqlite is created?
Hello, Screwball, key3.dB to the .sqlite database change first occurred between versions 3.0.x and 3.5.x.
try to download a portable version of firefox 3.5 to http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20P.E.%20Legacy/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%203.5.8/ and then extract its contents into a folder. When you look in the folder it should be a named subfolder 'data' - in there manually create another folder named 'profile' and put the old key3.db and signons3.txt in this profile folder. Then, run the old portable application once and see if it will convert the file key3.dB in sqlite format that you can import (in collaboration with signons3.txt) in your current profile of the firefox installed...

How can I recover my favorites from the previous version of Firefox?
I just loaded the new version of Firefox. My Favorites from the previous version have disappeared. How can I get back them? I went through the provided recovery method, nothing.
Do you still have backups of bookmark in the bookmarkbackups folder?

You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop in the case where you have refreshed Firefox and created a new profile?
You can retrieve the form of the data of the 'Old Firefox Data' folder, but be careful.
You can copy files like these in your current Firefox profile folder.
- bookmarks/history: backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and perhaps places.sqlite, if you really need the history
- other SQLite files cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins. JSON and signons3.txt (decryption key) of the saved passwords in password manager
- Permissions.SQLite and, possibly, content - prefs.sqlite permissions and Site preferences
- cert8. DB for stored intermediate certificates (Certificate Manager)
- sessionstore.js to open and pinned tabs and tab groups
- Persdict.dat for the words that you added to the spelling dictionary
Note that "Reset/Refresh" creates a new default profile with a time stamp to identify it and trying to retrieve settings such as Favorites and history and history and cookies and passwords, data of automatic filling of the old profile, but you lose data such as the installed extensions and other customizations.
The current profile folder will be moved to the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop. -
Import settings from a previous version of the SQL Developer to a more recent version
Hello
I had SQL 3.1.07 Developer installed on my machine. Now, I have installed 4.1.1.19.

I want to import all the old connections to the new version. Is it possible to import these settings now.
Thanks in advance,

I tried to set the master password yet appeared that submit or accept was grey and there was no focus confirmation. No PC to use for more than a week (out of the city for the funeral) was subsequently returned to find now need a master and had no idea that I had used the day I tried to settle this. I've saved my favorites and now wonder if I install a new version if those import requires the password that I don't know.
I suggest that the master password must confirm that it has been set. I had 'cancelled' on this screen so assumed, no password has been in place. Hard lesson to find out if I have to reset and lose all the passwords.
First of all, ALWAYS save your passwords safe, just for this reason.
As for the master, this effects only password manager. The other
managers should not be carried out.https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/use-master-password-protect-stored-logins
Use a master password to protect stored passwords and logins
The definition of a master password in Firefox is useful if your share your computer with others. We'll explain how it works.https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/reset-your-master-password-if-you-forgot-it

You can reset your master password in Firefox, if you forgot, however, this will remove all of your saved usernames and passwords. Learn how do. -

Similarly I cannot now (with v 17) start a download from a Web site to Quicken. At least it seems with four different financial institutions, I've tried. Each of them worked before version 17. I am now on 17.0.1 so that does not solve the problem.

Computer crashed recently, used the version 3.6.15, now with 4.0, how do I bookmarks from the previous version that was on the old computer. All files of this computer on the new computer under HD1?
bookmarks.html contains no bookmarks, this file is no longer used to store.
Are you sure you're looking in the right folder, you are possible to search in the installation of Firefox rather than the profile folder folder. The following link provides details on the location of the profile folder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you do not find places.sqlite you may not have access to your old profile folder.

How can I import passwords from the old profile?
I had problems with my laptop (do not start) last week and I managed to save some stuff from the hard drive before reinstalling Windows. Now I'm on duty, I don't know how to import passwords from Firefox seems to have changed a little. I managed to restore my favorites, but that's all.
Also, is there a way I can import my old browsing history?
Thank you very much. x
Yes, this place is not the Firefox profile folder, but the location of the folder that contains the files to create a new profile new model.
See:
- "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
To see the file extensions for all files uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".- XP: C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
- Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

A previous version of Firefox killed Zone Alarm - this problem has been corrected?
During installation, the previous version of Firefox update, it showed a box on the screen saying that he had found a file mismatch in the ultimate security alarm Zone and has been deleted. Without more explanation - and no way for me to say 'yes' or 'no '. Of course, the ZA Panel showed that I was not protected. Unacceptable. Went to IE, with the MS Firewall and anti virus, crossed my fingers, toes, eyes, etc. and are back online. Finally managed to download Zone Alarm - took a big piece of my Verizon monthly data allowance. Switched to Chrome, it plays well with ZA but I use Firefox instead. So - this fester has been fixed. It is safe to return to Firefox? May 23, 2014
Firefox does not disable the separate applications such as firewall and antivirus. Yes, we know that Zone Alarm itself is not an add-on for Firefox.
The message said that the Zone Alarm associated Extension that you had at the time was not compatible with this version of Firefox, you got in time. Separate Zone Alarm should have been still very well.
It is also not the work of the Firefox browser to be made compatible with the thousand of Extensions out there, but reverse.
