Import my logins from an older mac
I had to use forgot my password for my firefox account and now the sync option doesnt work for importing my logins.
What are my options to import all my logins? still have them accessible on another computer but trying to get them over to my new one. Also have the .csv file but that doesn't seem to work either.
There must be a way to import after changing a password right?
Thanks, Dan

Also, it seems like nothing will Sync. Is that because i changes a password??
What Firefox version do you have on the old computer ? You would normally need logins.json (encrypted logins;32+) and key4.db (decryption key;58+).
You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
- Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Folder/Directory:
Windows: Open Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
Location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).
- ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the "~/Library" folder in the Home directory is a hidden folder.
You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.
