Firefox Lockwise
Today I decided to refresh Firefox. I have done this before with no trouble but today it updated with this new Firefox Lockwise thing. I have lost all my passwords and it wont let me get them back. I have spent the last hour trying to get this to log in. I have made a new Firefox account. I never had one before. I have had to create an account here now as well. I just want my passwords. I don't have time for this rubbish. It says to sync from another device where my passwords are. I only have Firefox. I tried to save one of the passwords I know and it wont show up either. How do I get my passwords back? This is a nightmare!!

You can check if you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop in case the Refresh feature in Firefox has been used and a new profile has been created.
For the passwords you need key4.db (key file; primary password) and logins.json and possibly logins-backup.json.
You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.
You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
