Can't find my current firefox folder in my files

Post by JanaHH »

I reinstalled Firefox because I was having problems and refreshing it didn't work. When i opened the new version my saved logins were gone. I searched online how to get them back and found that I have to go to the Old Firefox folder find "key4.db" and "logins.json" then copy them into the new firefox folder. I have found the files but I cannot find where to copy them into. Thank you in advance.

You would copy those into the Firefox profile which, under Win 10, would be in a directory like C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXXXX.default.
USERID stands for your Windows login ID
XXXXXXXX is an 8 character random string generated when the new profile is created.
