Hi,

I lost my all passwords including master password after re-installing the firefox. After searching a lot I found I key3.db, storage,sqlite and all other files are present in the profile. But still I am not able to log-in to my master password, that is disabled.

when I am copying all files to create a new profile also. nothing is coming in new profile.

I am not able to set any new master password. Can any one please help me to get my important passwords back?
