My old hard drive refused to boot.
I got a new one, formatted it, and copied everything I "thought" I needed from the old one...nothing has been touched, it's all still there, in the case but not plugged in. I did not move any OS files, nor any files from progams folders.
I fresh-installed firefox on my new hard drive and quickly reconstructed my pwd protected accounts from memory.
I'm looking for help here, not a lecture on these newer approaches using master passwords. Gotta live my life my way, eh?
Anyway, now it's year end and I'm having password woes with a few accounts. As they are fiscal, they tend to lock out after 2-3 tries -- sometimes I'm told how many several days, I tend to default and try again after 3. I'm running out of time.
If I fire up the old hard drive and grab those two files, putting them in a dedicated subdirectory, can I retrieve those passwords?
Can you confirm the precise files names, and the most likely subdirectories I will find them in.
Yup, I'm that much of a dinosaur. You may have folders, but I have subdirs.
Cheers and thanks in advance for an answer that works.
Or will firefox try to show me the passwords from the current files, not the old ones.
