• 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?

• How to restore passwords signons3.txt? And how works signons.sqlite?

  I had to restore my operating system. I could get places.sqlite to restore the bookmarks (good!). I could find a signons3.txt (dated July 2013) this file will be not complete or up to date, but at least it puts me somewhere before.

  I have read that I need a signon3.txt file to go with the key3. I don't have one. I found a file dated September 2014 signons.sqlite. I moved these two files in my profiles folder, but I don't fit my old password.

  Is it possible for me to use the old key3? Do the key3 and sign must be dated the same thing? Is it possible to recreate the signons.txt?

  I have the password.

  Thanks for help.

  Signons3.txt file store the encryption key used to encrypt and decrypt passwords.
  Encrypted names and passwords are stored in the logins.json file.
  The file signons.sqlite is no longer used in current versions since Firefox 32.

  You must move the logins.json and key3db files in the current profile folder to retrieve passwords.

• Firefox 4. What is the difference between addons.sqlite and extensions.sqlite in the profile folder?

  I have separate facilities 3.6.15 Firefox and Firefox 4RC2, using their own separate and distinct profile folders.

  I already know that, in the profile folder:

  • Firefox 3.6.x has extensions.log, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf files
  • Firefox 4 has replaced extensions.rdf with extensions.sqlite
  • Firefox 4 has apparently no extensions.log
  • Firefox 3.6.x does not have addons.sqlite
  • Firefox 4 is has addons.sqlite

  For a better understanding of the present, can someone please clearly, answer the following 3 questions?

  What is

  1. the purpose of addons.sqlite in Firefox 4?
  2. How it / its function differ from the extensions.sqlite in Firefox 4
  3. both are really necessary?

  addons.SQLite stores the information that appears in the tab Addons > Extensions - under the button more , as well as the AMO URL for extensions that are not configuration to use this new feature.

  Extensions.SQLite stores the data on the installed extensions, by replacing the extensions.cache and extensions.rdf files.

  You really not need the addons.sqlite file, but I do not know the ramifications to delete the content of this file and 'locking' so that it is used. Not that it stores a large amount of data; only 320kb with 30 installed extensions.

  The toolbars are still on display in your browser?

  If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.

  As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.

  Hope that helps.

• I can't see the 'recently closed tabs' and 'windows' recently closed in Firefox-> history. Where are they?

  I use Firefox 4 Beta 3 and I can't see the 'recently closed tabs' and 'windows' recently closed in Firefox-> history. Where are they?

  They do not appear on the history of the Firefox button entry, but they are always on the menu background traditional, accessible by pressing Alt and S.

  Checking through some models of the Firefox button, it seems that he is expected to add to the option in the history of the Firefox button. Although there are probably differences, see this image for an idea of what the Firefox menu final button will look like at- https://bug583386.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=461697

• I want files my favorites because I had to update my laptop and had to re - install Firefox, but it won't let me. It just does not appear. What should I do?

  I'm going to my favorites, then import and backup, and then restore but the only date I can not restore from it only today (06/07/13). So I try "select a file", but it does not show them. And I saw him when I go to my files. There are 10 restore points. .... I don't know what to do. I wish that my favorites return. Don't save my favorites. But I guess that was the case automatically. The last one was in April.

  If please immediately save your profile and put it in a safe place outside the railways Firefox and profile (your office will be good).

  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information

  To ensure that you keep all of the information you have.

  It seems that you have not already done anything to backup bookmarks yourself. I think backups manual or synchronization to a second device.

  • Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer
  • How do I set up Sync on my computer?

  Do not blindly favorite restores backup like that replaces all existing files with the files of speculative / no value. Before you try to restore a bookmarks file always do a manual backup of the current, or you can just make the situation worse. Windows restore points may not always be effective and if they are it is a sledgehammer and nut approach.

  It is possible for previous versions of the file places.sqlite can help. It is a database file in your profile that contains bookmarks.

  • Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
    As explained in the article using the troubleshooting option exposes a button which is the easiest method to find and open the profile.

  The profile also contains a folder of some automatically created bookmark backups. I have already asked above that you backup the whole of this.
  

  I don't know what exactly you were doing that caused the loss of the bookmarks. If you reformat a hard drive which destroys everything. If you reinstall Firefox and any option to remove personal information again favorite will be lost.

  When I stop my iMac for the day and then return after day and turn on the Firefox itself has resized small again. I need to hit ' command + ' to the size I want.

What setting has changed which caused this?
