I did not make the advice up: http://users.adelphia.net/~irwingree...html#passwords This refers specifically to Mozilla, but with the exception of the password file being signons.txt instead of xxxxxxxx.s ( and therefore easier to copy over) it should work. If you have the old backed up information, the passwords should still be recoverable. I'll let someone else take over helping on this one though. Lee |

I'm not mad at you, sorry if you took it that way. I don't complain about
people trying to help. Its typical XP problems probley. Originally I did a new install of windows, then SP2, then Firefox, then I copied the complete profiles directory over to the new location. Everything is there except the passwords. That's when I posted to the news groups. It must be a bug that the passwords cant be copied over. Thanks for your help.

Before doing any other customization, create a coupls of passwords as described above, to create signons.txt. Copy in the backup version, along with key3.db. Do all this with FF closed. Start FF, and see if they are there. If they are, proceed with copying you over your bookmarks and other essential data. Usually there is not much past bookmarks and passwords, maybe formhistory, and cookies. If it doesn't work, trash the profile, satart over and rebuild your password file manually as you had planned. Its a profile problem, there should be no need to uninstall and reinstall the program, just delete the profile and start over. Lee |
