Passwords are stored in the 'key4.db' and 'logins.json' files. If those files weren't inadvertently wiped out (the whole kit and caboodle of your previous profile is normally saved somwhere when you refresh), you should be able to retrieve them. I found a python script on github that can extract them nicely, if you want to keep them someplace safer (see my previous post here). > bookmarks were preserved, but I want to keep my passwords ... not happy > > However behavior of firefox improved, so I'll need to find out how to > export/import passwords and other stuff before resetting this. > > regards > > -- New York was no mere city.

To think of 'living' there was to reduce the miraculous to the mundane; one does not 'live' at Xanadu. --Joan Didion
