Just refreshed firefox and it did not restore any passwords and even when I relogged into sites, it still does not show saved passwords. Help.

key3.db and logins.json : These are the Password files. Copy Both !

Open the folder in the Old Firefox folder with the latest date on it. Copy the above files into your current profile folder. Start Firefox. Are the passwords restored?

If not, try again with the other folder.

also see this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter Password Exporter This extension allows you to export your saved passwords and disabled login hosts using XML or CSV files that can be imported later.

I would also note that under options, none of my newly saved passwords are shown.

Current Firefox releases use key4.db for the key file (encryption key and master password). The logins.json file stores the encrypted names and passwords.

You need to copy both files from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop to the current profile folder with Firefox closed.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
