Hi   !

You can copy the logins.json and key3.db files to the profile folder on the other computer.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

3-bar menu => Help => Troubleshooting Information => Profile Directory : 'Show Folder'

I have this problem also. I attempted to follow your instructions but do not see HELP when I open the 3 bar menu so I can't go beyond that point

Firefox on my new computer no longer asks to save user names or pass words.

After you've clicked the 3-bar menu : at the bottom, do you see that question mark  ? That   stands for   'Help' ...... (I should have clarified that   -   sorry   !).

Firefox on my new computer no longer asks to save user names or pass words.

Would you check this please :

3-bar menu => Options => Security => under 'Logins': Make sure that 'Remember logins for sites' is checked.

The option Remember login sites is not enabled so I can not check it

Are you saying that 'Remember logins for sites' doesn't show under
'Logins'  ?

Or should I have said :   click the box in front of 'Remember logins for sites'  ?

Under the option Logins there are 2 options, Remember logins for sites and Use a master password. Only the Use a master password is enabled thus I can not check Re,ember logins for sites

What do you mean by   'enabled'  ? Can't you click the box in front of 'Remember logins for sites'  ?

The box is not enabled. It show in lightly gray outline not a black outline. When a function is not enabled you can not use that function.

Ahh,   the option is greyed out ...... I should have known that is what you meant   (sorry   !)

Would you make sure that you're not in permanent private browsing mode :

3-bar menu => Options => Privacy Under 'History' choose 'Use custom settings for history' and make sure that 'Always use private browsing mode ' is unchecked.

Thanks that worked now on to the problems of transferring bookmarks.
