Recovering old data
My laptop crashed and I had to format my hard and install new windows.
I have kept my passwords database files, which uses to be key3.db and key4.db along with logins.json and logins-backup.json files from my old use with me separately...
But the new Firefox folder didn't create these files anywhere where I could replace them with my files to get my stored passwords back.
Please help me restore my data from these files onto my new Firefox so I can get my stored passwords back.

This didn't help much.... But I got my passwords anyways ... I installed the Firefox version 68. And copied the files in it's user. ->local app-> Mozilla folder....
And that version picked up the passwords.. the problem was the newer versions had probably become incompatible with these files.
