Impossible to copy old details in the new Firefox

Long story short, I did not know Firefox Sync and my old installation of Windows is damaged due to a corruption of HD, and I reinstalled Windows on a new PC.

I have Firefox installed on your new PC, and in the past I would just copy files as places.sqlite on the new profile and bookmarks would be restored, but that has not worked. In fact, I replaced each element (straight upward to copy and paste to replace the new files) of the old profile in the news, but when I reopen it firefox, this is still a new installation; no saved passwords, cookies, history, nothing.

Any ideas?

Have you tried to use the Profile Manager?

  • To start, press the Windows key + R
  • Type in firefox.exe - ProfileManager and click OK
  • Create a new profile and choose the folder that contains your backed up files
  • Close the Profile Manager and launch Firefox

  • How can I import my old passwords of key3.db key3 and files for the new firefox signons.sqlite 41.0?

    I recently updated my PC and my old hard drive in system is placed as a slave in my new PC. Seen key3 and signons.sqlite key3.db files of the old firefox, how to import passwords saved in the new firefox 41.0?

    Thank you.

    How old was the older Firefox? Firefox 33 and then use this pair of files:

    • logins. JSON -. saved passwords.
    • signons3.txt - this file stores your database key for your passwords.

    If you want to move the old in your current profile (to replace new empty files for the most part), this is the fastest way to open your folder of the currently active profile. Either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename logins.json to something like logins.old and key3db to something like key3.old.

    Now copy the old two files in this folder.

    Launch Firefox back up again. These connections are available?

  • Cannot move old profile to the new facility

    I need to move my FF profile for a new installation of FF on a new PC, but I can't get the profile to "stick".

    I tried to copy the files from the old profile into the new folder by default and the default editing the .ini to the game file, but it does not work. I tried to delete the new default profile and insert the old, but the default profile folder recreates itself. Where FF stores the new default profile number and how can I change it?

    I know that it is possible to move an existing to a new installation of FF profile, as I've done it before, but I can't make it work this time. What I am doing wrong?

    See the following articles:

  • has got the biggest hard drive, can I transfer old install to the new drive?

    C: space too small

    My Windows XP Professional is installed on a 10 GB hard drive, there is little room left. I added an external drive more and would like to move the system to the largest disk. I don't have a installation disc. Can I transfer the system and applications to the new drive without losing any functionality and maybe use the old drive (C :) to store data.

    Its not so easy.  It is best to get rid of some of the files on the old drive and move the data files to the new drive.  Try to go first to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.  Then you can move locations of various data, such as temporary Internet files (in Internet Explorer go to tools |) Internet Options | Settings and click the folder to move and which will move this place).  If you use OE, first back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then put in place a new directory on the new drive to something like D:\OESTORE and then go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder and click the button change and set it as the new location.  Then close and reopen OE (DO NOT MOVE MESSAGES yourself! as he will destroy them) and the location must be moved.

    For other space saver, try to do a backup on the new disk directory and copy all update backups that were made (the Blues subdirectories in the Windows directory) and the Windows\inf directory that you can completely roll over to the new drive for backup purposes and you may need to browse to it, if you install a new device , but which will save a lot of space. (the above two suggestions require that you go to control panel |) Folder options | View and activate display files and hidden folders, enable showing protected and OS files and disable the option Hide extensions of known file types).  Move also on other data such as images, documents, music to the new drive.

    So if you have lots of space on C, defrag it.

    But just copy through the old drive to the new and try to start on the new one is unlikely to work.

  • Try to move the content from the old profile to the new profile of corrupt, but do not know what are the permissions to use

    I already followed the procedure to copy the files from the old profile to the new up to a certain point, but the "destination folder access denied" message for 9 elements.  When I go to change the permissions, I don't know which ones to use.  Any help would be much appreciated.  It took to run the computer all night and part of a day to get to this day it is so slow now.  Thank you.

    ABSG dear,

    Welcome to the MSFT support community.

    Try to start your system in safe mode and disable/uninstall the game for now. If the uninstallation of this game is everything to normal, you will need to install it again. If this is not the case, try another solution.

    Create a new user profile and delete the two accounts as there is a high risk user accounts has been corrupted. Heads up here learn more on how you can fix a damaged user profile and create a new:

  • Old iMac to the new iMac?

    I have posted before, but I am now ready to move from my 2007 24 ' iMac to a model of 5K of 2015. The old operating system is leopard (10.5.8) and the news is... most recent .the (Sierra). I was told to join the former backup disk, Time Machine USB 2.0 on my new computer before the first start and following the guests. Of course the software may not be compatible, but I would like to transfer as many files over the old machine to the new as possible so that I can remove the 24 ", or at least re - goal there.

    This is the best method. Should I add some steps of the process or do something else? I was aware of something special during this process? Please notify.

    Thank you!

    ~ Kort

    Congratulations Kort! Yes, that would be the best way. But this the first time you start your new Mac. After that, it will create a second home folder issue.

    BTW - I hate to disappoint you, but it will not come with Sierra, which is a beta version. It will come with El Capitan.

  • Merge the old sync in the new sync account account

    I tried following the instructions in "How to upgrade to the new Firefox Sync" <"rel ="nofollow"> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync?esab=a & as = aaq >, but I seem to miss something."

    I reinstalled a new version of Linux (Ubuntu) with Firefox 29, so I have a new facility. My old firefox sync does not untie because I wasn't aware of the change. With the new installation, I created a new account of firefox and enacted the synchronization. Now I want to restore my firefox sync history and bookmarks. I have all the credentials for the synchronization of the former. But how I merge in the new firefox sync?

    Hello! I'm late to the party, but I hope it could help you or other users which can read this.

    This workaround is for those who have not yet upgraded to the latest Firefox 28.0 and still have their original Firefox profile. What you can do is:

    1. Save your history & bookmarks with MozBackup.
    2. Upgrade to the latest version of Firefox.
    3. Restore with MozBackup Firefox profile.

    In this way, your Firefox history and bookmarks are available in the latest Firefox browser. Then simply sign up for the new Firefox Sync account and synchronize your data again.

  • reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    We have 4 old desktop computers with windows xp I want to reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    I bought a HP desktop computer and dell preinstalled with Windows XP. The office has not worked for a few years, he has the processor are P4 and slow work.

    I recently bought a desktop computer and wanted to know can I use the same license key to get Windows XP installed on my new desktop computer.

    Note: I have lost my original installation of windows CD but have the office and Windows XP product code is available to me.

    The old HP desktop and dell came with a license with the sticker on the side.

    Any PC which came with a sticker with a key to activate product on it has a license that is related to this PC (and only this PC) for ever. It is not legal to install on a PC using the key videos from another PC.

    If the PC you want to install XP on still has its sticker, then as much as you have a compatible installation XP CD, XP can be re-installed using the key on the sticker.

    Only commercial versions of XP can be moved from one PC to another. With the commercial versions, the activation key came with the media, not on a label stuck on the PC.
