Refreshed Firefox and my logins and passwords were not saved
Hi there,
I refreshed Firefox because I found it was running slow, and now my saved logins and passwords are not in my settings anymore.
They are still on my phone but they won't sync now to my iMac desktop.
Is there a way to restore them or resync!
Thanks for your help.
Shannon

You would have to restore the logins.json and key4.db files.
You can check if you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop in case the Refresh feature in Firefox has been used and a new profile has been created.
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.
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.
