I am trying to recover passwords from an older profile into a new profile. I want to import the data to the new profile but Mozilla only wants it from another browser or a .csv file. Where is the file? I have created another new profile so I don't know which is which. Any7 help is appreciated.

The files you need to copy from the old profile folder to the new (with Firefox closed) are key4.db and logins.json.
