Hello,

My Firefox updated itself a few weeks ago and as a result logins.json became corrupt. I tried restoring a previous version and also going in to about:config, restting signon.importedFromSqlite, deleting the exisitng logins.json file and then opening again which - for some strange reason - only brought back my passwords from 2011-2014.

I have all my passwords available on my iPhone and Android tablet as they are synced but it seems as though the sync does not work in reverse and push passwords to my desktop.

My Android tab will install Password Exporter but it seems that it is not compatible with the latest Firefox on that device as it does not show up anywhere.

Is there any method I can use to take my synced passwords from iOS or Android and send them to my desktop/laptop?

Regards, Jon
