Importing older logins to newer Firefox & Waterfox versions

Recommended Posts

It appears that the newer Firefox and Waterfox browser profiles are incompatible with the older versions, does anyone know of any 3rd party software that will import a profile created in

Waterfox v2021.09 or earlier(Waterfox Classic) into the newer G3.2.6 or Firefox v93 64bit? I don't fancy doing 20 plus years of data one line at time so any help greatly appreciated.

I  thought If you register Firefox account and use Firefox Sync it will automatic backup everything  book mark , password , firefox addon and history

If you have new passwords in your profile, this will not work.

In the new profile, remove the password files; key3.db [v58+] key4.db and logins.json : These are the Password files.

Now Copy those same files from the old profile. This must be done with Firefox Closed.

Thanks for the replies

@Akaneharuka

Unfortunately there is no way to register an account in Waterfox 2021.09

 

@Sharelol

 Waterfox 2021.09 key3.db is not recognised by either the later Waterfox G3.2.6 or Firefox v93 which both use key4.db

 

Upon reading the Waterfox web site it seems, apparently, the first Waterfox G3 release would upgrade and recognise the password/login data so I will

try and find a copy of that. My easy option would be 3rd party software.
