Cant get login/password to sync in.
I have had to reset my laptop. I installed Firefox again. When I sign in the bookmarks come back but the login/passwords will not. I have looked at several help articles and they don't help. I have the Old Firefox data folder on my desktop.

You can install the About Sync extension in Firefox 72 and newer on desktop to check what data is stored on the Sync server via the about:sync page provided by this extension.
You may have to close and restart Firefox to access the about:sync page added by this extension (see the about:about page for available about pages).
Added it and in only shows 6 passwords and in the old Firefox data there is over 200. For some reason they are not detected.
You can copy logins.json and key4.db from the old profile to your current profile folder with Firefox closed.
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.
- Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Folder/Directory:
Windows: Open Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
Files are in there and still wont pull login/passwords.
about:sync is pulling from a old build 15144361062 When the current profile is 1588704259310. How do i fix this?
