My esteemed listmates, For days I've been grappling with this task. I have exported my Firefix bookmarks and passwords to a flash drive from my old (dying) laptop to my newere refurbished laptop. The replacement files (logins.json and key4.db) were in my old profile folder: My new FF profile folder is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles I copied logins.json and key4.db into there but when I open FF on the new laptop to Menu > Bookmarks > Import > Restore ....nothing happens. It just sits there. I've posted this on a Mozilla support forum and each poster suggest something different or leaves out steps and they have no step - by step to accomplish this task. If you have actually accomplished this task (not read a Knowledge base) but done it yourself would you please share those steps? I also wanted to move my old passwords to my nee laptop but the posters shard that's complicated. Not exactly a helpful reply. I exported the passwords as a .cvs file. For the future do you use Clonezilla or some backup software so you press Backup and it saves your hard drive on to a flash or external hard drive and then on your new PC you press Install? I'd like something I can easily use to get everything on to the new laptop and not have to spend days "recovering" from a dying laptop. Thank you so much. Charles. Charlotte County Public Library
