Как восстановить пароли в мозиле после переустановки windows или после случайного удаления

While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

• You copy over only the minimal amount of files that contain your most important data that you simply can’t live without.
• You copy over a few files at a time, and then check that the problem you are trying to get rid of hasn’t returned.

Bookmarks, Downloads and Browsing History

• places.sqlite

This file contains all your Firefox bookmarks and lists of files you have downloaded and of websites you have previously visited. For more information, see Bookmarks in Firefox.

• favicons.sqlite

This file stores website favicon images. It’s best to also include this file when recovering the places.sqlite
file.

Passwords

Your passwords are stored in two different files, both of which are required:

• key4.db
  — This file stores your key database for your passwords. To transfer saved passwords, you must copy this file along with the following file.
• logins.json
  — Saved passwords.

For more information see Password Manager — Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox.

Site-specific preferences

• permissions.sqlite

Search engines

• search.json.mozlz4

This file stores user-installed search engines. For more information, see Add or remove a search engine in Firefox.

Personal dictionary

• formhistory.sqlite

This file remembers what you have searched for in the Firefox search bar and what information you have entered into forms on websites. For more information see Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms.

Cookies

• cookies.sqlite

Cookies are used by websites for a variety of reasons, some of which include keeping you logged in to a website you have previously logged in to, remembering any preferences a website has allowed you to set, authenticating you as a person who has visited a specific website before, etc.

Security certificate settings

• cert9.db

This file stores all your security certificate settings and any SSL certificates you have imported into Firefox.

File types and download actions

• handlers.json

This file stores your preferences with respect to what Firefox does when it comes across known file types, such as whether you want to save a file or open it with a specific application. For more information see Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file.
