I had to change my hard drive to a larger one, so my passwords are still on the smaller drive. I can make either hard drive "c" for the purpose of copying etc. My OM is Vista

You need to copy two files from the old profile folder to the current profile folder.

For details of how to find the profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

The two files you need to copy are signons.sqlite and key3.db

Hi Tony All done thanks for your input. The trouble I was having was finding the folder where the passwords are stored in vista, but thanks to you for directing me to the correct location. Gerald
