Hi all

Sorry to bother you all with this; but where does Firefox keep its
password file and what's it called?

Many thanks

Best regards

its kept in a file called signons.txt or signons2.txt
[depending on the version you're using], and its kept in the
FF profile.

I forgot to add one thing. If you're backing up that
password file, then you also need the file key3.db. Those
two files go hand in hand.

Thanks again Peter, it was more for transferring to other computers,
is the key3.db file specific to each signons2.txt or can I just
transfer signons2.txt on its own?

Best regards
