Switching FF-Profilges from computers with current firefox versions to computers with older ESR Firefox using --allow-downgrade not working all the time
We are currently using the Newest Firefox (Without ESR) on our current, older computers (Windows 7 and 10). Now we have to Switch to New Computers provided from our management-company with an older ESR-Firefox 68.2. Sometime running firefox --allow-downgrade works, somtimes not. This is a big Problem because a lot of passwords are saved in the profiles and the "new" passwort page makes it very complikated to simply take some Screenshots of the Passwords to a new computer. Mozilla Sync Profiles are not Allowed in Our company. Do you have some helpfull advise for this situation? We startet with 10 Computers hand started running into these Problems, but there are litarelly a few hundreds more we have to migrate!

You can copy logins.json and key4.db from the profile folder on the old computer to the profile folder on the new computer to transfer the passwords.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

I would suggest using sync. You can use sync to share passwords, bookmarks, and history. Anything else may not be compatible.

Sync your passwords, history, tabs and other browsing information across your iOS, Android and desktop computers with Firefox Accounts.
Hi,
thanks for the answer!
As i have allready written, sync is not allowed. Our company forbids the use due to security and privacy concerns.
AFAIK it is also blocked by our proxy-servers.
I would really like another solution.
Thanks!
