I've lost on my passwords!
I have my firefox account on 2 computers. In one of the two, I've suddenly lost all my saved passwords. I noticed that after a firefox update, there's an extra installation folder (now at C:\Program Files(x86) and the "old" installation was at C:\Program Files. How do I copy the saved passwords file from one folder to another? By the way, all my saved passwords are shown perfectly on the other computer... is there a way to migrate them?
Thanks
(Windows 10, Firefox 63.0)

key3.db [v58+] key4.db and logins.json : These are the password files. Copy Both ! to a thumb drive. Then Copy these files to your other profiles.
In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.

You can also sign in to the Firefox on the both devices with the same account to sync logins.
