Exporting Saved Logins
I managed to get 3 files out of Firefox 79: KEY3.DB, KEY4.DB and LOGINS.JSON. They are now on my Desktop. How do I get them to go from there into Waterfox 2121.11?
P.S. I belive I set up a "sync" account by mistake. If I did, Please delete it. Thank you.

You can use sync to share all selected data. Waterfox is compatible with the Mozilla sync servers.

For example:
JSON file: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1258644
CSV: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1253828 (copy/paste from console)
chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul
chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xhtml
Delete Account: Look for Delete Account at the bottom of https://accounts.firefox.com/settings
After, create a new sync using the system/profile that has the data.
Wait for a while until the syncing is done before adding any new members.
Did you check whether you can import a logins CSV backup in Waterfox as that is the easiest way ?
See the note at the bottom of this article about how to enable import CSV in Lockwise via the about:config page.

- about:config => signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled = true
You only need to copy logins.json and key4.db as a possible key3.db is likely too old to work with a current logins.json.
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).
