Hello,
To import saved passwords into a new Firefox profile, either import them via a CSV file in the Logins menu or to copy the logins.json and key4.db files directly from the old profile folder to the new one.
Copying Files
- Close Firefox completely.
- Open your old profile folder (type about:support in the address bar, click "Open Folder" next to "Profile Directory").
- Locate and copy the files named logins.json and key4.db (or key3.db in very old versions).
- Open your new profile folder (via about:profiles or about:support).
- Paste the files into the new profile folder, replacing any existing files.
- Restart Firefox.
Importing via CSV (If you have a CSV file)
- Click the menu button (\(=\)) and select Logins and Passwords (or go to about:logins).
- Click the 3-dot menu icon in the top right and select Import from a File
- Select your previously exported .csv file.Click Done.
