I recently had Windows 10 re-installed. After that occurred many programs and other issues have come up. One issue is all the user names and passwords that were saved in my previous Firefox install didn't show up.

I'm sure the file is on my laptop, but the browser created a new password file.

Is there a way to incorporate my existing user names/passwords into the new file?

Thanks

Were the old files saved somewhere on the new drive? Open your file browser, go to the root directory, and search for key3 file You will need both key3.db and logins.json files.


Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.2.2.172 Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.9.620
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Do you have an "C:\Windows.old" folder?
